Notes
- 1.
The 4th generation of these light sources are linear accelerators, or “free electron lasers”, which do not force the electrons in circular orbits but in linear paths.
- 2.
However, the even harmonics do also exist in the off-axis radiation, that is, the radiation emitted at a small angle with respect to the tangential forward direction of the electron.
- 3.
The connection between a damped oscillator and the Kramers-Kronig relations is given in Appendix 4.3.3.
- 4.
More details on the derivation of Fermi’s Golden Rule can be found in Appendix 4.3.3.
- 5.
Not to be confused with the conductivity tensor \(\sigma \), shown in non-bold typeface in this work.
- 6.
The substrates used to grow TMO heterostructures are insulating, so the grounding cannot be done through the substrate.
