The fully coherent free electron laser FERMI paves the way to control ultrafast electron motion.
Fig.1 Representation of the phase scan of the first and second harmonics. Lower panel: electric fields of the individual harmonics; upper panel: the sum of the electric field vectors. | Fig.2 Schematic representation of the emission intensity of an p + d wave as the phase is scanned. The lobes represent the direction and intensity of emission. |
