Radiation damage is one of the most severe resolution limiting factors in x-ray imaging, especially relevant to biological samples. One way of circumventing this problem is to exploit correlation-based methods developed in quantum imaging. Among these, there is ghost imaging (GI) in which the image is formed by radiation that has never interacted with the sample. Here, we demonstrate GI at an XUV free-electron laser by utilizing correlation techniques. We discuss the experimental challenges, optimal setup, and crucial ingredients to maximize the achievable resolution.

Ghost imaging with thermal light in scattering media is investigated. We demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally for the first time that the image with high quality can still be obtained in the scattering media by ghost imaging. The scatte ring effect on the qualities of the images obtained when the object is illuminated directly by the thermal light and ghost imaging is analyzed theoretically. Its potential applications are also discussed.

Ghost imaging (GI) is a novel imaging method, which can reconstruct the object information by the light intensity correlation measurements. However, at present, the field of view (FOV) is limited to the illuminating range of the light patterns. To en large FOV of GI efficiently, here we proposed the omnidirectional ghost imaging system (OGIS), which can achieve a 360{deg} omnidirectional FOV at one shot only by adding a curved mirror. Moreover, by designing the retina-like annular patterns with log-polar patterns, OGIS can obtain unwrapping-free undistorted panoramic images with uniform resolution, which opens up a new way for the application of GI.
In this Letter, we report a demonstration of ion and electron ghost imaging. Two beams of correlated ions and electrons are produced by a photoionization process and accelerated into opposite directions. Using a single time and position sensitive det ector for one beam, we can image an object seen by the other beam even when the detector that sees this object has no spatial resolution. The extra information given by this second detector can, therefore, be used to reconstruct the image thanks to the correlation between the ions and the electrons. In our example, a metallic mask placed in front of a time-sensitive detector is used as the object to image. We demonstrated ion and electron ghost imaging using this mask in a transmission mode. These primary results are very promising and open applications especially in ion and electron imaging in surface science and nanophysics.
A technique is proposed to generate attosecond pulse trains of radiation from a Free-Electron Laser amplifier. The optics-free technique synthesises a comb of longitudinal modes by applying a series of spatio-temporal shifts between the co-propagatin g radiation and electron bunch in the FEL. The modes may be phase-locked by modulating the electron beam energy at the mode spacing frequency. Three-dimensional simulations demonstrate the generation of a train of 400as pulses at giga-watt power levels evenly spaced by 2.5fs at a wavelength of 124 Angstrom. In the X-ray at wavelength 1.5 Angstrom, trains of 23as pulses evenly spaced by 150as and of peak power up to 6GW are predicted.
We present measurements of second- and higher-order intensity correlation functions (so-called Hanbury Brown and Twiss experiment) performed at the free-electron laser (FEL) FLASH in the non-linear regime of its operation. We demonstrate the high tra nsverse coherence properties of the FEL beam with a degree of transverse coherence of about 80% and degeneracy parameter of the order 10^9 that makes it similar to laser sources. Intensity correlation measurements in spatial and frequency domain gave an estimate of the FEL average pulse duration of 50 fs. Our measurements of the higher-order correlation functions indicate that FEL radiation obeys Gaussian statistics, which is characteristic to chaotic sources.
