Towards perfectly linearly polarized x-rays

In recent years, high-precision x-ray polarimeters have become a key method for the investigation of fundamental physical questions from solid-state physics to quantum optics. Here, we report on the verification of a polarization purity of better than 8×10^{−11} at an x-ray free-electron laser, whic...
