Abstract
Quasi-phase matching of generated harmonics and laser pulses in several types of plasma is reported. Laser-induced ytterbium, bismuth, vanadium, manganese, and gold plasmas demonstrated the potential to generate powerful coherent radiation by enhancing high-order harmonics in various ranges of the extreme ultraviolet spectrum. Femtosecond pulses with wavelengths of 800 nm and 1300 nm make it possible to demonstrate single-color and two-color generation of groups of amplified harmonics, along with the enhanced single harmonics caused by resonance, in multi-jet laser plasma. The 33× gain factor for the 33rd harmonic in the case of 6-jets Bi LIP was obtained. The highest order harmonics from the multi-jet plasmas (53rd order of 800 nm pump in the case of Bi LIP, 51st order of 1300 nm pump in the case of Yb LIP, and 53rd order of 1300 nm pump in the case of Au LIP) were enhanced compared to the case of the extended plasmas.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
