  2. 6. Investigation of Ultrafast Molecular Dynamics via Covariance Mapping : A Tool for Intense XUV Light Sources

    Author : Jan Lahl; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Covariance; Ultrafast; High-order harmonic generation; Extreme Ultraviolet; Pump probe; FLASH; Velocity map imaging; wavefront; FEL; photodissociation; Coulomb explosion; Fysicumarkivet A:2019:Lahl;

    Abstract : The study of molecular dynamics involves observations of the motion of nuclei and electrons. While nuclear motion is usually on the picosecond or femtosecond timescale, attosecond precision is necessary to directly observe the motion of electrons. READ MORE

  4. 7. 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

  5. 8. 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. 9. Ultrafast Photoionization Dynamics Studied with Coincidence Momentum Imaging Spectrometers

    Author : Yu-Chen Cheng; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photoionization; High-order Harmonic Generation; Extreme Ultraviolet; Free-Electron Laser; Molecular Dissociation; Charge Transfer; Coincidence Measurement; Momentum Imaging; Electron Wave Packet; Fysicumarkivet A:2019:Cheng;

    Abstract : The time scale of the dynamics in atoms and molecules varies from attoseconds (10-18) to picoseconds (10-12) depending on the size of the particles. To study such dynamics, ultrafast light pulses are needed to trigger and capture the reaction. One of the most direct methods consists in ionizing the system and observing the following response.

  7. 10. 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.
