Abstract
A new method of spatially resolved single-shot absorption spectroscopy for an x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) pulse has been developed by using a dispersive spectrometer and an elliptical mirror to enhance the spatial resolution. As a demonstration, we performed x-ray absorption near-edge structure measurement of Cu with a pump-probe scheme combining an XFEL pulse and a high-power femtosecond laser pulse. In the experiment, changes of an absorption spectrum in a plasma generated with a laser shot were successfully observed. The method will be a powerful tool for experiments requiring a spatial resolution and/or a single-shot measurement, such as high energy density science using a high-power laser pulse.
