Narrowband Tunable VUV/XUV Radiation Generated by Third-Order Frequency Mixing of Laser Radiation in Gases

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 241))

Abstract

Third-order frequency mixing in gases is a well established method for the generation of optical radiation in the spectral region of the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) at wavelengths λvuv=100–200 nm and of the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) at λxuv=58–100 nm. The pioneering work in this field has been published more than ten years ago by Ward and New1, Harris and Miles2, Miles and Harris3 and Kung et al4. During the past decade the results of a large number of theoretical and experimental investigations demonstrated that frequency mixing of powerful laser light generates intense VUV and XUV radiation with fixed or tunable frequency and high spectral brightness5,6,7.
