We explore the non-equilibrium dynamics of non-interacting classical
particles in a one-dimensional driven superlattice which is composed of domains
exposed to different time-dependent forces. It is shown how the combination of
directed transport and conversion processes from diffusive to ballistic motion
causes strong correlations between velocity and phase for particles passing
through a superlattice. A detailed understanding of the underlying mechanism
allows us to tune the resulting velocity distributions at distinguished points
in the superlattice by means of local variations of the applied driving force.
As an intriguing application we present a scheme how initially diffusive
particles can be transformed into a monoenergetic pulsed particle beam whose
parameters such as its energy can be varied
