Book Description
The goal of this research program is the development of coherent X-ray sources is the kilovolt range. An initial application of short wavelength radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet region for photoemission studies of GaHz surfaces has been performed demonstrating the feasibility of this class of experiments. A basic and long-standing problem in the field of coherent sources is that associated with the generation of coherent energy in the extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray regions. During the last three years, picosecond rare gas halogen (RGH) excimert laser technology, on account of the very favorable scaling relationships governing the spectral brightness of these sources, has emerged as a key factor in new techniques useful for generation of coherent radiation below 100 nm. The operation of RGH systems will be extended down into the femtosecond region, a development that will enable sources with peak powers P in the 1TW

Generation and Application of Coherent Extreme Ultraviolet Radiation

Pages : 136
Book Description
High harmonic generation featuring ultra-short pulses, short wavelengths and highly coherent radiation in a table-top setup has become one of the most versatile and affordable tools for studies of atomic and molecular dynamics as well as for nano-scale coherent diffractive imaging. In this book, we show the background and technical aspects of the generation and enhancement of high order harmonic radiations down to the water window region (2.3 - 4.4 nm). The source is specifically tailored and developed for imaging applications. By controlling and stabilizing the phase-matching condition in a gas cell, an extreme ultra-violet source which satisfies these requirements has been generated. Using a harmonic source with wavelengths around 30 nm, a resolution of 45 nm for a micrometer-size transmission sample has been obtained and biological-like absorption samples are also successfully reconstructed. A phase retrieval algorithm with a phase-curvature correction is developed to take advantage of the higher photon flux when placing the sample near the focus point.

Frequency Conversion of Ultrashort Pulses in Extended Laser-Produced Plasmas
Author: Rashid A Ganeev
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811001944
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
This book offers a review of the use of extended ablation plasmas as nonlinear media for HHG of high-order harmonic generation (HHG). The book describes the different experimental approaches, shows the advantages and limitations regarding HHG efficiency and discusses the particular processes that take place at longer interaction lengths, including propagation and quasi-phase matching effects. It describes the most recent approaches to harmonic generation in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) range with the use of extended plasma plumes, and how these differ from more commonly-used gas-jet sources. The main focus is on studies using extended plasmas, but some new findings from HHG experiments in narrow plasma plumes are also discussed. It also describes how quasi-phase-matching in modulated plasmas, as demonstrated in recent studies, has revealed different means of tuning enhanced harmonic groups in the XUV region. After an introduction to the fundamental theoretical and experimental aspects of HHG, a review of the most important results of HHG in narrow plasmas is presented, including recent studies of small-sized plasma plumes as emitters of high-order harmonics. In Chapter 2, various findings in the application of extended plasmas for harmonic generation are analyzed. One of the most important applications of extended plasmas, the quasi-phase-matching of generated harmonics, is demonstrated in Chapter 3, including various approaches to the modification of perforated plasma plumes. Chapter 4 depicts the nonlinear optical features of extended plasmas produced on the surfaces of different non-metal materials. Chapter 5 is dedicated to the analysis of new opportunities for extended plasma induced HHG. The advantages of the application of long plasma plumes for HHG, such as resonance enhancement and double-pulse method, are discussed in Chapter 6. Finally, a summary section brings together all of these findings and discuss the perspectives of extended plasma formations for efficient HHG and nonlinear optical plasma spectroscopy. The book will be useful for students and scholars working in this highly multidisciplinary domain involving material science, nonlinear optics and laser spectroscopy. It brings the new researcher to the very frontier of the physics of the interaction between laser and extended plasma; for the expert it will serve as an essential guide and indicate directions for future research.
