Towards efficient generation of attosecond pulses from overdense plasma targets
Theoretical studies and computer simulations predict efficient generation of attosecond electromagnetic pulses from overdense plasma targets, driven by relativistically strong laser pulses. These predictions need to be validated in time resolved experiments in order to provide a route for applications. The first available femtosecond sources for these experiments are likely to be 10 fs pulses o...
متن کاملAbsorption of ultrashort laser pulses in strongly overdense targets.
Absorption measurements on solid conducting targets have been performed in s and p polarization with ultrashort, high-contrast Ti:sapphire laser pulses at intensities up to 5x10{16}W/cm{2} and pulse duration of 8 fs. The particular relevance of the reported absorption measurements lies in the fact that the extremely short laser pulse interacts with matter close to solid density during the entir...
متن کاملAttosecond pulses measured from the attosecond lighthouse
The attosecond lighthouse is a method of using ultrafast wavefront rotation with high-harmonic generation to create a series of coherent, spatially separated attosecond pulses. Previously, temporal measurements by photoelectron streaking characterized isolated attosecond pulses created by manipulating the single-atom response1–4. The attosecond lighthouse, in contrast, generates a series of pul...
متن کاملModeling generation and characterization of attosecond pulses
Generation of high-order harmonics has emerged as a powerful technique for the generation of broadband coherent radiation in the EUV regime. This has lead to the development of table-top EUV sources that can produce attosecond pulses. These pulses can serve as a probe to resolve atomic attosecond dynamics and image atomic orbitals and molecular motion. Due to high spatial and temporal coherence...
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...
