pulsed beam of X-rays

Caption

A pulsed beam of X-rays is incident on a diamond mask (blue), creating a grating of excitation on the sample. A laser beam (thin blue line on the right) is diffracted by the transient grating in the sample, and the diffracted beam (yellow line) is recorded as a function of time, with respect to the initial X-ray beam pulse.
