FLASH - The Free Electron Laser at DESY<br />

Siegfried Schreiber 1 , Josef Feldhaus 1<br />

1 DESY, Notkestr. 85, 22603 Hamburg<br />

FLASH is a free electron laser user facility at DESY providing laser-like radiation in<br />

the VUV and soft X-ray wavelenth regime. The facility unique in the world recently<br />

achieved a world record with lasing at a wavelength of 13.1 nm. A low e<strong>mit</strong>tance electron<br />

beam is accelerated with superconducting accelerating structures of the TESLA<br />

type to an energy of 700 MeV. In a 24 m long undulator system laser-like radiation<br />

is geneated via the SASE process, a single-pass high-gain amplification starting from<br />

noise. The pulsed radiation is fully coherent with a peak brilliance several orders of<br />

magnitudes higher than 3 rd generation synchrotron radiation sources. The pulse length<br />

is in the order of 25 to 50 fs allowing many experiments in different scientific fields, for<br />

instance time resolved observation of chemical reactions with atomic resolution.
