Table-top nanoscale coherent imaging with XUV light

Free Electron Generation of Xuv Coherent Light

Sequential single-shot imaging of nanoscale dynamic interactions with a table-top soft x-ray laser.

We demonstrate the first real-space recording of nanoscale dynamic interactions using single-shot soft x-ray (SXR) full-field laser microscopy. A sequence of real-space flash images acquired with a table-top SXR laser was used to capture the motion of a rapidly oscillating magnetic nanoprobe. Changes of 30 nm in the oscillation amplitude were detected when the nanoprobe was made to interact wit...

Nanoscale Metallo-Dielectric Coherent Light Sources

Compact photonic components are important for the design and fabrication of integrated optical devices and circuits. In the case of light sources, reducing the size can result in improved metrics such as higher packing density and reduced power consumption and also may enhance cavity–emitter interactions such as the Purcell effect. Until recently it was commonly known that the minimum size for ...

Towards a table-top microscope for nanoscale magnetic imaging using picosecond thermal gradients

Research advancement in magnetoelectronics is challenged by the lack of a table-top magnetic measurement technique with the simultaneous temporal and spatial resolution necessary for characterizing magnetization dynamics in devices of interest, such as magnetic memory and spin torque oscillators. Although magneto-optical microscopy provides superb temporal resolution, its spatial resolution is ...
