研究目的
Discuss the use of reflective diffraction gratings to manipulate the phase of ultrashort pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft X-ray spectral regions, focusing on compensating for the pulse chirp and compressing the pulse.
研究成果
The use of diffraction gratings to manipulate the spectral phase of XUV ultrashort pulses has been demonstrated as effective for compensating pulse chirp and compressing pulses. Both classical and off-plane geometries offer tunability in wavelength and GDD, making them suitable for applications in chirped-pulse amplification of intense FEL pulses and compression of attosecond pulses. The study concludes that grazing incidence elements are particularly suitable for handling intense FEL radiation and attosecond pulses, offering flexibility and high throughput.
研究不足
The study highlights the lower efficiency of gratings at wavelengths shorter than ≈40 nm and the necessity to limit the number of diffractions to two. It also discusses the challenges in tuning both wavelength and group delay simultaneously and the spatial chirp introduced by the compressor.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study discusses the use of reflective diffraction gratings in two geometries, classical diffraction geometry (CDG) and off-plane geometry (OPG), for manipulating the spectral phase of XUV and soft X-ray ultrashort pulses.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The research focuses on theoretical models and simulations based on parameters from free-electron laser (FEL) sources and high-order harmonics (HHs) generation.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes reflective diffraction gratings operated at grazing incidence, plane mirrors, and parabolic mirrors for collimating and focusing XUV radiation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
