Developments and Applications of Vortex Synchrotron Radiation
Description: We have developed a technology to add a new function to synchrotron radiation, which is widely used in various research areas as a light source in the ultraviolet to X-rays, and have developed its applications. Using a light source device called an undulator, we established a method of generating a light beam with a spatial structure such as an optical vortex or a vector beam in which the properties of light change on the cross section of the light beam. In addition, we conducted leading experiments using it. During this research, we have found a method to control the time structure of synchrotron radiation and have applied it to a leading experiment, which gave us and a clue for the next development.
