Measuring the frequency chirp of extreme-ultraviolet free-electron laser pulses by transient absorption spectroscopy

Free-electron laser pulses generated from self-amplification of spontaneous emission scheme vary from one another in their characteristics. Here the authors demonstrate a transient absorption spectroscopy method to characterize the frequency chirp of the FEL pulses.
