Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 912–915 (1996)Femtosecond X-Ray Pulses of Synchrotron RadiationReceived 11 August 1995; published in the issue dated 5 February 1996 A method capable of producing femtosecond pulses of synchrotron radiation is proposed. It is based on the interaction of femtosecond light pulses with electrons in a storage ring. The application of the method to the generation of ultrashort x-ray pulses at the Advanced Light Source of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has been considered. The same method can also be used for extraction of electrons from a storage ring in ultrashort series of microbunches spaced by the periodicity of light wavelength. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
