Optical Technologies for Extreme-Ultraviolet and Soft X-ray Coherent Sources

Abstract

After a brief description of the theoretical principles of multilayer mirrors, we present the state of the art of experimental results obtained in the XUV range. We then focus on the specificities of multilayer mirrors for pico- and femtosecond sources, in terms of reflectivity, selectivity and stability. Finally, we report the recent advances in the development of multilayer mirrors for attosecond sources, from the design of the mirror to the characterization of such a component.
