Direct amplitude shaping of high harmonics in the extreme ultraviolet.
We demonstrate direct amplitude shaping of high harmonics (HHs) using a reflective micromirror array based on micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) technology. We show independent control over the intensity of each HH in the observed range (14 - 36 eV). These results are used to calculate the control achieved over the temporal structure of the attosecond pulses in the train.
متن کاملLaser waveform control of extreme ultraviolet high harmonics from solids.
Solid-state high-harmonic sources offer the possibility of compact, high-repetition-rate attosecond light emitters. However, the time structure of high harmonics must be characterized at the sub-cycle level. We use strong two-cycle laser pulses to directly control the time-dependent nonlinear current in single-crystal MgO, leading to the generation of extreme ultraviolet harmonics. We find that...
متن کاملExtreme ultraviolet interferometry measurements with high-order harmonics.
We demonstrate that high-order harmonics generated by short, intense laser pulses in gases provide an interesting radiation source for extreme ultraviolet interferometry, since they are tunable, coherent, of short pulse duration, and simple to manipulate. Harmonics from the 9th to the 15th are used to measure the thickness of an aluminum layer. The 11th harmonic is used to determine the spatial...
متن کاملExtreme-ultraviolet polarimeter utilizing laser-generated high-order harmonics.
We describe an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) polarimeter that employs laser-generated high-order harmonics as the light source. The polarimeter is designed to characterize materials and thin films for use with EUV light. Laser high harmonics are highly directional with easily rotatable linear polarization, not typically available with other EUV sources. The harmonics have good wavelength coverage, ...
متن کاملExtreme ultraviolet Fourier-transform spectroscopy with high order harmonics.
We demonstrate a new scheme for extreme ultraviolet (xuv) Fourier-transform spectroscopy based on the generation of two phase-locked high-harmonic beams. It allows us to measure for the first time interferograms at wavelengths as short as 90 nm, and open the perspective of performing high-resolution Fourier-transform absorption spectroscopy in the xuv. Our measurements also demonstrate that a p...
