Abstract

A new high-performance method for the free-electron laser (FEL) focused beam diagnosis has been successfully tested at the FERMI FEL in Trieste, Italy. The novel pixelated phosphor detector (PPD) consists of micrometric pixels produced by classical UV lithography and dry etching technique, fabricated on a silicon substrate, arranged in a hexagonal geometry and filled with suitable phosphors. It has been demonstrated that the overall resolution of the system has increased by reducing the diffusion of the light in the phosphors. Various types of PPD have been produced and tested, demonstrating a high resolution in the beam profile and the ability to measure the actual spot size shot-to-shot with an unprecedented resolution. For these reasons, the proposed detector could become a reference technique in the FEL diagnosis field
