Abstract

Diamond polycrystalline films have been synthesized using the Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) technique in order to fabricate new types of photo-detectors for novel photon source characterization. We present here diamond-based new devices for a range of applications, including (i) VUV spectral output monitoring down to 125 nm, with high selectivity with respect to UV. These devices exhibit a VUV to UV sensitivity ratio above 400, thus demonstrating their solar blindness. Another aspect (ii) addresses the design of intensity or beam position monitors (resolution <2 μm) for extremely low wavelengths as encountered in synchrotron light source experiments. These detectors enable in-line beam characterization with low cross-section. Further, (iii) since diamond exhibits a low carrier lifetime (≪1 ns), detectors have been fabricated for the temporal characterization of ultra-fast (<100 ps) laser pulse duration monitoring. They can be used for the characterization of short laser pulses as well as for synchrotron machine diagnostics.
