Femtosecond-pulse-driven electron-excited extreme-ultraviolet lasers in Be-like ions.

چکیده
A suggestion for the generation of extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) laser radiation based on tunneling ionization and subsequent electron excitation of Deltan not equal 0 transitions is described. The favorable scaling of the required intensity of the pump laser with the output XUV wavelength is compared with that exhibited by XUV lasers ased on Deltan = 0 transitions. Calculations for Be-like Ne predict signif icant gain at 14.1 nm.

Excited ions in intense femtosecond laser pulses: laser-induced recombination.
Electron-ion recombination in a laser-induced electron recollision is of fundamental importance as the underlying mechanism responsible for the generation of high-harmonic radiation and hence for the production of attosecond pulse trains in the extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray spectral regions. By using an ion beam target, remotely prepared to be partially in long-lived excited states, the re...
متن کاملChirped pulse amplification in an extreme-ultraviolet free-electron laser
Chirped pulse amplification in optical lasers is a revolutionary technique, which allows the generation of extremely powerful femtosecond pulses in the infrared and visible spectral ranges. Such pulses are nowadays an indispensable tool for a myriad of applications, both in fundamental and applied research. In recent years, a strong need emerged for light sources producing ultra-short and inten...
متن کاملDemonstration of a 10-Hz, femtosecond-pulse-driven XUV laser at 41.8 nm in Xe
Almost ten years ago, Matthews et al. [1], working at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, reported laser amplification at wavelengths of 20.6 and 21.0 nm in Se XXV. The Se laser, and others like it [2], operate by sequential ionization of the target species until a closed shell is reached, followed by electron collisional excitation from the ionic ground state to the upper laser level. ...
متن کاملGeneration of elliptically polarized nitrogen ion laser fields using two-color femtosecond laser pulses.
We experimentally investigate generation of nitrogen molecular ion (N2+) lasers with two femtosecond laser pulses at different wavelengths. The first pulse serves as the pump which ionizes the nitrogen molecules and excites the molecular ions to excited electronic states. The second pulse serves as the probe which leads to stimulated emission from the excited molecular ions. We observe that cha...
متن کاملGeneration of isolated attosecond pulses with 20 to 28 femtosecond lasers.
Isolated attosecond pulses are powerful tools for exploring electron dynamics in matter. So far, such extreme ultraviolet pulses have only been generated using high power, few-cycle lasers, which are very difficult to construct and operate. We propose and demonstrate a technique called generalized double optical gating for generating isolated attosecond pulses with 20 fs lasers from a hollow-co...
