Laser driven table-top coherent EUV source for high resolution diffractive microscopy
Laser driven table-top coherent EUV source for high resolution diffractive microscopy
High Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a strongly non-linear process where a high intensity, short pulse laser field is focused into a gas resulting in a spectrum of short wavelength radiation in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range generated at harmonic frequencies of the fundamental laser field. The resulting radiation conserves the properties of the driving field. The produced EUV beam has low divergence with lateral coherence comparable with the beam size, which allows tight focusing and achieving high photon flux density of highly coherent EUV radiation. Coherent Diffractive Imaging (CDI) is a microscopy method that allows recovering both amplitude and phasing shift of the exit-wave from sample without the need for any EUV objective lens at the diffraction limited resolution. Results, from our experiment on test samples demonstrate 60nm resolution using far-field scanning CDI method (ptychography) and 2x2mm field of view in the near-field mode. Further, spectral data is presented from analysis of a diffraction pattern of a double slit mask showing the option to use the HHG source as a monochromatic or polychromatic depending on the multilayer focusing optics used

Abstract
High Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a strongly non-linear process where a high intensity, short pulse laser field is focused into a gas resulting in a spectrum of short wavelength radiation in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range generated at harmonic frequencies of the fundamental laser field. The resulting radiation conserves the properties of the driving field. The produced EUV beam has low divergence with lateral coherence comparable with the beam size, which allows tight focusing and achieving high photon flux density of highly coherent EUV radiation. Coherent Diffractive Imaging (CDI) is a microscopy method that allows recovering both amplitude and phasing shift of the exit-wave from sample without the need for any EUV objective lens at the diffraction limited resolution. Results, from our experiment on test samples demonstrate 60nm resolution using far-field scanning CDI method (ptychography) and 2x2mm field of view in the near-field mode. Further, spectral data is presented from analysis of a diffraction pattern of a double slit mask showing the option to use the HHG source as a monochromatic or polychromatic depending on the multilayer focusing optics used
