In this paper, the authors review the development and application of coherent short wavelength light sources implemented using the high harmonic generation (HHG) process, such as the KMLabs by Brad Sohnlein

Ultrathin films and multilayers, with controlled thickness down to single atomic layers, are critical for advanced technologies ranging from nanoelectronics to spintronics to quantum devices. However, for thicknesses less than 10 nm, surfaces and dopants contribute significantly to the film properties, ...

3D pulsed laser atom probe tomography (APT)  is an atomic scale materials characterization and 3D imaging method utilizing ultrafast pulses to induce photon assisted field ion evaporation in certain materials. Currently, modern APT measurements employ coherent, pulsed near ultraviolet (NUV) light to induce the field ion evaporation ...

We implement coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) using a phase-matched high-harmonic generation (HHG) source at 13 nm, demonstrating reconstructed images with a record 22 nm resolution for any tabletop, light-based microscope. We also demonstrate the first reflection-mode CDI using a compact extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source, achieving ...

High-resolution imaging is an invaluable tool for understanding nanoscale systems. In particular, tabletop extreme ultraviolet (EUV) coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) techniques based on high harmonic generation (HHG) can combine femtosecond (fs) pulse durations with nanometer resolution and elemental-, spin-, electronic-and ...

Generation of high harmonics is the only available way to obtain coherent extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray radiation in laboratory conditions. We present a system for high harmonics generation and study of its parameters. Capillary waveguide filled with Ar gas is used to convert the pumping laser radiation from a Ti:Sapphire mode-locked ...

High-resolution imaging is an essential tool for understanding nanoscale systems. In particular, tabletop extreme ultraviolet (EUV) coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) techniques based on high harmonic generation (HHG) are ideal for investigating complex nanostructured systems, including their ...
