研究目的
Investigating the design of grating-based instruments for handling and conditioning coherent ultrafast pulses in the extreme-ultraviolet, specifically for monochromatization of high-order laser harmonics and free-electron-laser pulses.
研究成果
The study concludes that time-preserving monochromators can be realized in a single-grating configuration if the number of illuminated grooves is minimized for a given resolution, making the pulse-front tilt close to the Fourier limit. It emphasizes the need for trade-offs among energy resolution, temporal resolution, and photon flux to meet experimental requirements.
研究不足
The study highlights the trade-off between high energy resolution and high temporal resolution in single-grating designs, which may result in pulse-front tilts beyond the Fourier limit. It also notes the complexity and reduced efficiency of double-grating configurations.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study discusses the design conditions for grating monochromators to handle ultrafast pulses without significantly altering pulse duration. It compares two grating geometries: classical-diffraction mount (CDM) and off-plane mount (OPM).
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study uses theoretical models and simulations to analyze the performance of monochromators for ultrafast pulses in the XUV and soft X-rays.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Diffraction gratings at grazing incidence are the primary equipment, with specific groove densities and operational geometries (CDM and OPM).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study outlines the design parameters for monochromators, including groove density, entrance and exit arms, and operational angles, to achieve desired spectral resolution and minimize pulse-front tilt.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis involves calculating output bandwidth, pulse-front tilt, and comparing these with the Fourier limit for given resolutions.
