The main function of the LIN is to bring the optical pump laser to the sample. Optical pump laser pulses can be generated in a range of wavelengths, pulse energies and pulse durations and are synchronized to the FEL pulse sequence. The main feature of the LIN is a set of four in-vacuum mirrors for different wavelengths that can be selected without breaking vacuum. The mirror stack is mounted on a vertical translator with ball-screw- driven linear guides attached to the base granite for stability. Each 2-inch piezo driven mirror holder allows an on-axis or off-axis configuration with respect to the X-ray beam. With a total length of 940 mm the LIN also includes a proper image based diagnostic for the pump laser as well as the FEL beams. To maintain the pressure in the KB mirror chamber two-stages of differential pumping are also included in the setup. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
