Attosecond synchronization of high-harmonic soft x-rays.
Subfemtosecond light pulses can be obtained by superposing several high harmonics of an intense laser pulse. Provided that the harmonics are emitted simultaneously, increasing their number should result in shorter pulses. However, we found that the high harmonics were not synchronized on an attosecond time scale, thus setting a lower limit to the achievable x-ray pulse duration. We showed that ...

Attosecond light pulses in the extreme ultraviolet have drawn a great deal of attention due to their ability to interrogate electronic dynamics in real time. Nevertheless, to follow charge dynamics and excitations in materials, element selectivity is a prerequisite, which demands such pulses in the soft X-ray region, above 200 eV, to simultaneously cover several fundamental absorption edges of ...
متن کاملAttosecond Pulses through High Harmonic Generation
“To fill a vacancy in a lower-lying atomic shell, an orbiting electron has to shed energy. If it follows the Auger process, the shell-hopping electron transfers its excess energy to a neighboring electron in the same shell. Left behind with too much energy, the neighbor quits the atom. The eviction takes a few tens to a few thousands of attoseconds (10^-18s)—at least that’s what the energy spec...
متن کاملSoft X-Ray Second Harmonic Generation as an Interfacial Probe.
Nonlinear optical processes at soft x-ray wavelengths have remained largely unexplored due to the lack of available light sources with the requisite intensity and coherence. Here we report the observation of soft x-ray second harmonic generation near the carbon K edge (∼284 eV) in graphite thin films generated by high intensity, coherent soft x-ray pulses at the FERMI free electron laser. Our ...
متن کاملExtreme Nonlinear Optics (high harmonic generation and attosecond generation)
This method relies on the possibility of FourierSynthesis of discrete lines over a broad spectrum (similar to mode-locking). A Raman medium is characterized by its Raman frequency ω0, which can be the difference between two rotational or vibrational lines. When we apply a laser excitation ωL − ωs close to ω0, we can obtain gain at the stokes (ωL−nω0) and anti-stokes (ωL+nω0) frequencies, the Ra...
