Mode-locked multichromatic x rays in a seeded free-electron laser for single-shot x-ray spectroscopy

We present the promise of generating gigawatt mode-locked multichromatic x rays in a seeded free-electron laser (FEL). We show that, by using a laser to imprint periodic modulation in electron beam phase space, a single-frequency coherent seed can be amplified and further translated to a mode-locked...
