23. The 6th harmonic fs oscillator repetition rate is synchronized to the radio frequency of the synchrotron (500 MHz) with less than 5 ps time jitter. One of these oscillator pulses (locked to the ALS camshaft pulse) is then amplified at 1 kHz repetition rate thus maintaining the temporal synchronization. An electronic phase shifter unit permits us to shift the time delay between the laser and X‐ray pulses in steps of less than 5 ps.
24. We actually monitor the natural logarithm of the ratio of adjacent recorded X‐ray pulse intensities (instead of differences), thus of the laser‐excited and the dark samples, which delivers a measure proportional to the concentration of excited state species.
