Abstract
So far, short wavelength Free Electron Laser amplifiers have produced linearly polarised radiation. For several important classes of experiment, variable polarisation is required. For example, in the wavelength range from 1.5 to 2.5 nm, light polarisation is important in characterising magnetic materials where measurements depend critically upon the handedness of the polarisation. It is therefore important that the polarisation does not fluctuate between measurements. In this paper, we study possible methods to generate variably polarised light and consider its shot-to-shot stability.
