2004 CLEO/IQEC, San Francisco, May SASE FEL output is chaotic: fully coherent transversely, but only partially coherent longitudinally Through measurement of the spectra, one can statisticall determine the temporal domain property, the most important one is the pulse duration for the future X-ray sources. Also the first time a chaotic light source is fully characterized. Conclusion
2004 CLEO/IQEC, San Francisco, May Chaotic light Candles + incandescent lights but with longer coherence length and a single spatial mode. Each time spike represents a coherence region. The sun Stars SASE FELs are chaotic light sources……
