Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Radiation from Punched-Out Target

Laser-plasma-induced extreme-ultraviolet radiation from liquid mercury.

Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation from 100 to less than 30 nm is emitted from a laser-induced plasma generated on a liquid-mercury surface. This surface does not degrade even after tens of thousands of laser pulses. The 532-nm laser light focused on the mercury forms a bright plasma core and a plume extending several millimeters above the liquid level. The plasma core produces primarily conti...

Bow-tie nano-antenna assisted generation of extreme ultraviolet radiation

We report on the generation of extreme ultraviolet radiation utilizing the plasmonic field enhancement in arrays of bow-tie gold optical antennae. Furthermore, their suitability to support high-order harmonic generation is examined by means of finite-difference time-domain calculations and experiments. Particular emphasis is paid to the thermal properties, which become significant at the employ...

Dichroic beam splitter for extreme-ultraviolet and visible radiation.

A simple dichroic beam splitter capable of separating extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) radiation from high-powered visible and UV laser beams is demonstrated. The device has high XUV reflection efficiency (R approximately 44%) and high damage resistance to intense laser radiation and is therefore applicable to laser-generated XUV radiation sources, including harmonic generation, sum-frequency mixing, ...
