In situ calibration of an extreme ultraviolet spectrometer for attosecond transient absorption experiments.

چکیده
We report a method for calibrating an extreme ultraviolet spectrometer based on a flat-field grazing incidence spherical grating in the energy range of 20-30 eV. By measuring absorption lines corresponding to singly excited states in helium atoms and autoionizing states in argon atoms, the photon energy of the detected light was determined. The spectral resolution of the spectrometer, 60 meV, was obtained by deconvolving the Fano resonance profile of argon autoionizing states from the measured absorption line profiles.

Combined Focusing and Flat-Field Spectrometer System for Extreme Ultraviolet Pulse
For reducing both extreme ultraviolet attosecond pulses energy loss in the focusing reflection process and measurement error caused by pulse focusing aberration, as well as improving the operability of pulse spectroscopy monitoring, a combined focusing and flat-field spectrometer analysis system for attosecond pulse is proposed and designed through step-by-step performance optimization. The foc...
متن کاملAttosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy
Motion in the microcosm unfolds via the formation of wavepackets, resulting from a coherent superposition of quantum states. Pioneered by A. H. Zewail, nuclear motion in (bio-)molecules as well as the formation and rupture of chemical bonds have been accessed extensively by femtosecond (1 fs = 10 seconds) pump-probe spectroscopy. For these outstanding experiments, A. H. Zewail was awarded the N...
متن کاملVersatile attosecond beamline in a two-foci configuration for simultaneous time-resolved measurements.
We present our attoline which is a versatile attosecond beamline at the Ultrafast Laser Physics Group at ETH Zurich for attosecond spectroscopy in a variety of targets. High-harmonic generation (HHG) in noble gases with an infrared (IR) driving field is employed to generate pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral regime for XUV-IR cross-correlation measurements. The IR pulse driving th...
متن کاملAbsorption and emission of single attosecond light pulses in an autoionizing gaseous medium dressed by a time-delayed control field
An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) single attosecond pulse passing through a laser-dressed dense gas is studied theoretically. The weak EUV pulse pumps the helium gas from the ground state to the 2s2p(1P ) autoionizing state, which is coupled to the 2s2(1S) autoionizing state by a femtosecond infrared laser with the intensity in the order of 1012 W/cm2. The simulation shows how the transient absorpti...
متن کاملIR-assisted ionization of helium by attosecond extreme ultraviolet radiation
Attosecond science has opened up the possibility of manipulating electrons on their fundamental timescales. Here, we use both theory and experiment to investigate ionization dynamics in helium on the attosecond timescale by simultaneously irradiating the atom with a soft x-ray attosecond pulse train (APT) and an ultrafast laser pulse. Because the APT has resolution in both energy and time, we o...
