We performed measurements using the 17 fs pulses of a Ti:sapphire frequency comb at 108 MHz repetition rate. The beam was focused to a 30-nm-thick AlN (0001) film, grown on sapphire substrate. The on-axis peak intensity of 1.0±0.2 TW/cm 2 was suitable to observe intense 3 rd and 5 th order harmonics in the ultraviolet (267 nm) and vacuum ultraviolet (160 nm), respectively [1] .Show More
Phase matching is indispensible for the efficient generation high-order harmonic radiation (HHG), especially in the range of several-100-eV. Recently it has been theoretically predicted that perfect pressure induced phase matching cannot be realized in helium in the 0.2-1 keV spectral range using 800 nm light pulses. In this contribution, a detailed experimental study of the phase mismatch is pres...Show More
Sources based on high harmonic generation (HHG) deliver line and/or continuum radiation up to few keV with excellent spatial characteristic and repetition rate up to few kHz. These sources have been successfully applied for x-ray absorption spectroscopy with sub-20 fs temporal resolution. However, for time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy there is a need for pulsed EUV sources with MHz repetiti...Show More
For time-resolved spectroscopy, ultra-short pulses can be directly generated with lasers and the wavelength range can be extended with nonlinear frequency conversion techniques. For covering the shorter wavelength range, XFEL's and plasma based x-ray lasers are attractive candidates. However their stability, coherence and beam quality is limited and can be improved e.g. by seeding with coherent hi...Show More
We have developed high intensity oscillator capable for generating ultrashort <;20 fs EUV pulses. The EUV radiation should be generated in an additional intra cavity focus in which we put a gas jet. Only the focusing mirrors for second focus and the gas jet are put in a small vacuum chamber equipped with two Brewster windows to couple in the light.Show More
With intense laser pulses it is possible to generate x-ray radiation up to 3–4 keV [1] via high harmonic generation (HHG). The cut-off can be further extended by HHG from ions and solving the phase matching problem. Quasi phase matching [2, 3] or non-adiabatic phase matching [1] has been successfully demonstrated for HHG from neutral atoms. Here we describe a new approach for HHG with extended cut...Show More
From the modulation in the absorption spectrum it is possible to estimate the atomic distance as described in the frame of extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS). By combining EXAFS with methods of conventional pump-probe spectroscopy it is possible to follow atomic motion such as structural modification after the excitation with an intense laser pulse. The structural modifi...Show More
The authors demonstrated that by applying non-adiabatic-self-phase-matching the photon flux and cut-off can be increased allowing EXAFS measurements in the keV range. By evaluating the fine structure of the static X-ray absorption spectra near the L-edge of Ti and Cu, and the K-edge of Al and Si we determined the atomic distance of amorphous samples.Show More
This paper demonstrates time resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy with a resolution in the sub-20 fs range around the L-edge (100 eV) of amorphous silicon (XANES) and gathered information beyond the L-edge about the atomic structure with EXAFS. This setup can be easily adapted for other materials such as carbon, and open the way to gain insight into fast dynamical processes of large organic mole...Show More
We report the generation of high harmonic radiation from 200 eV to 700 eV. The 1 kHz 10 fs 3 mJ TW laser system provides the conditions for the nonadiabatic self-phase-matchingShow More
