High-Harmonic Generation for Coherent Diffractive Imaging

Sven Teichmann's doctorate features experimental work on a high-harmonic generation source and coherent diffractive imaging. High-harmonic generation allows generating coherent and laser-like extreme- ultraviolet and soft x-ray radiation based on the frequency-upconversion of laser light. A novel and successful approach of employing harmonic emission that consists of multiple harmonic orders is presented. This emission is utilized for coherent diffractive imaging by illuminating a sample of unk ...
