Spatial Coherence Measurement of Soft X-Ray Radiation Produced by High Order Harmonic Generation.

چکیده
We have executed a series of Young’s two-slit experiments to measure the spatial coherence of soft x rays produced by high order harmonic generation in helium within the 270 to 480 Å wavelength range. We find that the harmonics exhibit good fringe visibility and high spatial coherence, though the coherence is somewhat degraded at high intensity because of the production of free electrons through optical field ionization during the harmonic generation.

Optical klystron FEL scheme for x-ray coherent harmonic generation at ISLF storage ring
The possibility of inserting an optical klystron on the storage ring of an Iranian Light Source Facility as a Synchrotron Radiation Free electron Laser for coherence harmonic generation in the soft x-ray spectrum has been studied. The study has been performed using the 3D FEL simulation code GENESIS 1.3 and in accordance with the available characteristic parameters of ISLF. Different potential ...
متن کاملSpatial coherence of short wavelength high-order harmonics
Nonperturbative high-order harmonic conversion of high-intensity, ultrafast laser pulses in gases represents a unique means to generate high-brightness, coherent XUV, and soft X-ray radiation. We review the physics controlling the spatial qualities of harmonic radiation and recent experimental measurements of high-order harmonic spatial profiles. We also examine the factors controlling the spat...
متن کاملHigh Brightness Coherent X-ray Sources by High-Order Harmonic Generation and Parametric X-ray Amplification
The development of high-order harmonic (HH) generation at GSI aims at creating a seed source for soft X-ray lasers (SXRL) that are based on amplification of spontaneous emission. It has been demonstrated that a seeded SXRL possesses a higher beam quality in terms of spatial homogeneity and spatial coherence [1]. In combination with the narrow spectral bandwidth, seeded SXRL represent attractive...

متن کاملCompact coherence enhancement by subharmonic self-seeding in X-ray free-electron laser facilities
X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) are cutting-edge scientific tools able to generate transversely coherent radiation with very high power and ultra-short pulse durations. The self-seeding mechanism has been proven to increase the longitudinal coherence of the FEL radiation but its efficiency could be significantly improved, especially for soft X-rays. This paper proposes the enhancement of the ...
