Coherent x rays with tunable time-dependent polarization

We describe a method for producing high power, coherent x-ray pulses from a free electron laser with femtosecond scale periodic temporal modulation of the polarization vector. This approach relies on the generation of a temporal intensity modulation after self seeding either by modulating the seed i...
