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. TheHHG from femtosecond laser pulses

allows producing coherent radiation in the XUV spectral range.

Table-top lasers render these processes possible with the prospect

of widespread scientific applications.
