X-ray structural analysis
Invited Oral
In this report the results of long-term works - more than 40 years - in the field of structural biology of tissue with synchrotron radiation (SR) usage will be presented.
We were pioneers in the field of SR use for nanostructural researches of biological tissues. C.S. Holmes was the first to demonstrate the advantages of SR in studying the structure of biological objects in 1971 on the DESY...

SR technological application and X-ray apparatus
Invited Oral
This paper describes a novel x-ray phase contrast imaging technique called X-ray dark-field imaging (XDFI) that has been under development for the past 10 years. We describe the theory behind XDFI, the x-ray optics required for implementing it in practice, and algorithms used for 2D, 2.5D, and 3D image reconstruction. The XDFI optical chain consists of an asymmetrically cut, Bragg-type...

SR technological application and X-ray apparatus
Invited Oral
After the first successful experimental demonstration 20 years ago [1], the use of X-ray refractive optics has rapidly expanded and they are now in common use at 15 synchrotrons in 10 countries. This development has intensified after the successful implementation of transfocators - tunable devices based on refractive lenses [2]. In addition to traditional micro-focusing applications, the...

X-ray spectroscopy
Invited Oral
This talk reviews some recent spectroscopic studies on semiconductor structures carried out using the mid-infrared and terahertz (THz) free-electron laser (FEL) facility FELBE in Dresden, Germany. Its intense, nearly transform-limited picosecond pulses, which can also be combined with synchronous pico- or femtosecond pulses from near-infared tabletop lasers, provide unique research...

THz radiation aplication
Invited Oral
Nowadays, all three laser systems of the Novosibirsk free electron laser facility are in operation. First laser system generates tunable monochromatic radiation in the terahertz spectral range from 90 to 240 micrometers, whereas the spectral range of the second laser spans a region from 40 to 80 micrometers. Both these systems are available to users. The third laser has been commissioned, and...

X-ray structural analysis
Invited Oral
The technique of X-ray diffraction with time resolution has shown tremendous progress recent years. This is due to the development of the accelerator technology, methods of generation of synchrotron radiation (SR), and fast X-ray detectors. The report reviews the main principles of time-resolved X-ray diffractometry and requirements to the object, equipment and detectors. Considered are the...

THz radiation aplication
Invited Oral
Hydrogen-like impurity centers in monocrystalline Silicon can be utilized for terahertz(THz) lasers. Several types of such lasers have been demonstrated. The
lasers operate at low lattice temperatures under optical pumping
with a free electron laser (FEL). They emit light frequencies between 1.2 and 6.9 THz.
Dipole-allowed optical transitions between particular excited
states of...

THz radiation aplication
Invited Oral
Interactions of laser radiation with gas cluster targets have been investigated in the past two decades. Cluster jet, obtained by the adiabatic condensation of gas flow, has pronounced nonlinear optical properties and combines the advantages of solid-state and gas target. Cluster inherits high local density and this implies high value of nonlinear response. At the same time cluster beams are...
