Abstract: Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photon beam characterisation techniques, Hartmann wavefront sensing and single shot ablation imprinting, were compared along the caustic of a tightly focused free-electron laser (FEL) beam at beamline FL24 of FLASH2, the Free-electron LASer in Hamburg at DESY. The transverse coherence of the EUV FEL was determined by a Young’s double pinhole experiment and used in a back-propagation algorithm which includes partial coherence to calculate the beam intensity profiles along the caustic from the wavefront measurements. A very good agreement of the profile structure and size is observed for different wavelengths between the back-propagated profiles, an indirect technique, and ablation imprints. As a result, the Hartmann wavefront sensor including its software MrBeam is a very useful, single shot pulse resolved and fast tool for non-invasive determination of focal spot size and shape and also for beam profiles along the caustic.
