Abstract

Optimization of focusing conditions is important in free-electron laser applications. A time-of-flight mass analyzer has been designed and constructed for this purpose. The time-of-flight spectra of ionic species evolved from laser ablation of gold were measured. The yields of ionic species showed strong correlations with free-electron-laser intensity. This method conveniently allows for direct estimation of laser intensity on sample and determination of focusing position.
