We report the development of a novel hard X‐ray diffraction system with picosecond time resolution. Picosecond X‐ray pulses are produced by excitation of an X‐ray diode with picosecond ultraviolet light pulses at a repetition rate of 300 Hz. The X‐ray pulses are synchronized to the optical pulses with picosecond accuracy. The system has been utilized in picosecond time resolved X‐ray diffraction of laser pulse heated gold and platinum single crystals.
