Plasma HHG Using Femtosecond Pulses
Coherent short wavelength radiation is of increasing importance
for a broad variety of basic and applied research in various fields
of physical, chemical, and life sciences. Among them, femtosecond
time-resolved coherent diffractive imaging and photo-induced
processes at surfaces and nanoparticles, as well as lithography,
plasma diagnostics, and materials science processing and diagnos-
tics are of foremost interest. The HHG from femtosecond laser pulses
allows producing coherent radiation in the XUV spectral range.
Table-top lasers render these ...
