Here we present recent progress from the new CLF
Adaptive Optics program including a new development laboratory
and tests of a high damage threshold dielectric deformable mirror.
The recently refurbished laboratory has versatile optical layout,
multi wavelength, large beam diameter and large propagation
distance (~10 m) for testing deformable mirrors up to 150 mm
diameter, as well as manufacturing capabilities.
Polarized X-ray pulses at 0.6 Å have been generated via head-on collision of a laser pulse from the high-field laser
facility at Daresbury with a 30 MeV electron bunch in the ALICE energy recovery linear accelerator. The angular
distribution of the backscattered X rays was obtained in single-shot using a scintillation screen. The temporal profile of
the X ray yield as a function of the time delay between the laser pulse and electron bunch was measured and agreed well
with that expected from the collision point dependence of the laser-electron beam longitudinal overlap.
