• Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in physics, chemistry, and beyond (2016, background): “However, looking ahead a few years we can be encouraged by new radiation sources (Hemsing et al., 2014) and the use of temporally-coherent light and pulse lengths as long as a few ps (Allaria et al., 2012, 2013; Amann et al., 2012; Hara, 2013).”
• Serial femtosecond crystallography: the first five years (2015, neutral): “…of the X-ray pulses, but this does not seem to be the case when comparing SFX data from lysozyme microcrystals collected with a SASE (fluctuating polychromatic distribution) or seeded (more or less monochromatic) beam (Amann et al., 2012) and analysed with CrystFEL (Barends et al., 2015).”
• SwissFEL: The Swiss X-ray Free Electron Laser (2017, background): “There is the plan to operate Aramis in self-seeding mode [168] in the future.”
• Polarization control in an X-ray free-electron laser (2016, methodology): “wide-bandwidth pre-pulse present in the hard X-ray self-seeding schemes based on a crystal monochromator [28, 29] from the desired narrow-bandwidth pulse.”
• Beam by design: laser manipulation of electrons in modern accelerators (2014, methodology): “In principle, the selfseeding technique works at all wavelengths accessible to SASE FELs, and has recently been demonstrated at hard x-ray wavelengths (Amann et al., 2012).”
• Photon Beam Transport and Scientific Instruments at the European XFEL (2017, background): “Most notable is the construction and implementation of self-seeding for the hard X-ray FEL sources [104,105].”
• Coherent optical vortices from relativistic electron beams (2013, methodology): “Further, the seed laser could be provided by the FEL itself, as in the recently demonstrated self-seeded configuration for hard x-rays[29].”
