Another FEL might have less intensity but be capable of pulses a thousand times shorter, measured in mere attoseconds (quintillionths of a second) - with the ability to provide a pair of these ultrashort x-ray pulses at different wavelengths ( "colors") and controlled separation between the pulses, an important capability for x-ray pump-probe experiments.
