High-Flux XUV Beamlines for Imaging and Spectroscopy
Hosted By: Gamma, X-Ray and Extreme UV Optics Technical Group
18 April 2023 14:00 - 15:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)High-harmonic generation (HHG) driven by ultrashort laser pulses is an established process for the generation of coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) to soft X-ray radiation, which has found widespread use in various applications. In recent years photon-hungry applications such as coherent diffractive imaging, semiconductor metrology or photo-electron spectroscopy have required more powerful HHG sources employing higher repetition rates. This need was successfully addressed by high-average-power fiber lasers made by Active Fiber Systems GmbH (AFS). As a result of the integration into the TRUMPF group, AFS adopted its pulse compression scheme to TRUMPF’s industrial-grade lasers featuring compactness, cost-effectiveness and availability in large quantities. As a result, an ultrarobust and long-term stable XUV source becomes available to a broad range of users.
In this webinar hosted by the Gamma, X-Ray and Extreme UV Optics Technical Group, Sven Breitkopf will present various HHG-based XUV sources providing large photon flux across a wide range between 20 eV and 150 eV. Dr. Breitkopf will highlight some of their scientific use cases. They can be driven by different sources from the laser portfolio of the Trumpf Group while a post-compression shortens the pulses to whatever is needed for the respective XUV specs in terms of spectral and temporal properties.
