When ultrafast electrons are deflected, they emit light known as synchrotron radiation. This radiation is commonly used in storage rings where magnets force particles onto a closed path. While this light typically consists of a broad spectrum of wavelengths, it is longitudinally incoherent. Monochromators can be employed to isolate specific wavelengths from the spectrum, but
