  2. 11. Attosecond Optical and Electronic Wave Packets

    Author : Per Johnsson; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optik; acoustics; optics; Electromagnetism; Ionization Dynamics; Electron Wave Packet Interferometry; Electron Wave Packet Control; Pulse Characterization; High-Order Harmonics; Attosecond Pulse Trains; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; akustik; Elektromagnetism;

    Abstract : When a low-frequency laser pulse is focused to a high intensity in a gas, the electric field of the laser may become comparable to, or even exceed, the electric field between the electrons and the nucleus in the atom. Under such conditions, through a process known as high-order harmonic generation, bursts of extreme ultraviolet radiation may be emitted, with durations in the attosecond domain (1 as = 10^{-18} s), which is the time-scale of electronic processes.

  4. 12. Probing Electron Correlation on the Attosecond Timescale

    Author : Diego Guenot; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysicumarkivet A:2014:Guénot;

    Abstract : This thesis describes how photoemission stimulated by an attosecond pulse train (APT) can be used to extract information on electron correlation in simple quantum systems such as atoms. The emission of the electron by an APT induces a reorganization of the electrons remaining in the ion core. READ MORE

  5. 13. Second-generation High-Order Harmonic Sources — From CPA to OPCPA

    Author : Piotr Rudawski; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optical parametric chirped pulse amplification; Fysicumarkivet A:2014:Rudawski; Chirped pulse amplification; High-order harmonic generation; Attosecond pulse;

    Abstract : This thesis presents two sources of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation based on high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases. The sources were developed for experiments requiring high-flux harmonic beams or HHG pulses at high-repetition rate. These were used experimentally to image nano-scale objects. READ MORE

  6. 14. Towards ultrafast imaging with extreme ultraviolet light sources

    Author : Jörg Schwenke; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photo emission electron microscopy; Focusing of X-ray radiation; Digital holography; High-order harmonic generation; Free-electron laser seeding; Secondary electron cascades; Fysicumarkivet A:2012:Schwenke;

    Abstract : This thesis reports experimental studies performed with two advanced coherent XUV sources with ultrashort pulse duration, high-order harmonic generation and seeded-free electron laser. High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is the generation of overtones of a fundamental laser pulse in a medium, e.g. noble gases. READ MORE

  7. 15. A sub-5 fs 100 TW optical parametric synthesizer

    Author : Peter Fischer; Laszlo Veisz; Ove Axner; Cord L. Arnold; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optical parametric amplification OPA ; optical parametric synthesizer OPS optimization; energy stability; carrier envelop phase stability; temporal intensity contrast; saturation; fewcycle; tera watt; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : State-of-the-art ultrashort light sources in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions provide direct access to the femtosecond realm, thereby enabling understanding and control of electronic processes within matter. On the other hand, ultra-intense light pulses lead to the emergence of relativistic electron motion and many related phenomena, such as electron & ion acceleration and high-order harmonic generation in plasmas.
