In order to perform XUV pump-probe experiments on small quantum systems such as atomic targets or small molecules and clusters, a new direct-focussing XUV split-and-delay optics was designed, installed and commissioned as part of the permanent reaction microscope user endstation at FLASH2. A planar mirror, which is divided into two halves geometrically, splits an incoming XUV pulse into two parts and introduces a variable temporal delay between them. An off-axis ellipsoidal mirror then focuses the XUV pulses into the gas target of the reaction microscope.

The focus position and the optical aberrations of the FEL beam were measured using a wavefront sensor. We identified the influence of position and rotation of the mirrors on the different aberrations. A focus size of 3 micrometer in diameter was obtained. The new direct-focussing XUV optics decreases background from scattered light compared to our previous back-reflecting geometry due to single passage through the interaction region and because of the smaller focus size.
