Description
The most attractive features of laser-seeded FERMI operated at Elettra since 2012 are its high degree of coherence, tunability, multiple polarization and jitter-free pump-probe schemes, enabling multicolor IR or FEL pump/IR or FEL probe experiments with full control of the intensity and pulse durations. After short overview of the present experimental set-ups the unprecedented opportunity for exploiting ultrafast dynamics with chemical sensitivity will be illustrated using selected recent results. The emphasis will be on time-resolved experiments for tracking the response triggered by optical lasers or FEL pulses with lateral and temporal resolution determined only by the wavelength and duration of the probe.
