1. 1. Generation of attosecond X-ray pulses in free-electron lasers using electron energy modulation and undulator tapering

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/FREIA

   Author : Karl-Fredrik Boholm Kylesten; [2023]
   Keywords : attosecond; free-electron laser; XFEL; self-amplified spontaneous emission; SASE; tapering; energy modulation;

   Abstract : Free-electron lasers (FELs) are among the world's most intense artificial artificial sources of coherent light and are tunable to various wavelengths, including the X-ray spectrum. X-ray FELs (XFELs) are extremely useful for diffraction experiments to study molecules, materials, and quantum systems. READ MORE

3. 2. Measuring the Pulse Duration and the Time-Dependent Polarisation State of Ultrashort Laser Pulses with the D-Scan Technique

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Atomfysik

   Author : Daniel Díaz Rivas; [2022]
   Keywords : pulse characterisation; ultrashort; laser; femtosecond; dispersion scan; polarisation; wave plate; temporal reconstruction; electric field reconstruction; time-dependent polarisation; polarisation gate; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Ultrashort laser pulses with time-dependent polarisation states have many applications, such as the generation of isolated attosecond pulses and the study of the optical chirality of molecules. In this project the polarisation gate, built from two quarter-wave plates of different orders, is thoroughly characterised in experiment and simulation. READ MORE

4. 3. Generation and Characterization of Intense Attosecond Pulses

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Marius Plach; [2020]
   Keywords : Attosecond physics; high-order harmonic generation; high harmonic generation; HHG; attosecond pulses; molecular dynamics; attosecond pulse generation; harmonic emission time delay; temporal reconstruction of attosecond pulses; strong field processes; Three-step model; RABBIT; Reconstruction of Attosecond Beating By Interference of Two-photon Transition; Terawatt Laser System; Intense XUV Beamline; XUV; LLC; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Research on ultrafast dynamics in atoms and molecules requires short pulses. In order to resolve processes taking place on a femtosecond timescale sufficiently, these pulses require a duration on the attosecond time scale. READ MORE

5. 4. Dispersion management and characterization of ultrashort laser pulses for the optimization of parametric processes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Axel Elfving; [2019]
   Keywords : frequency resolved optical gating; optical parametric amplification; difference frequency generation; nonlinear optics; laser pulse compression; lasers; optics; Technology and Engineering; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis set out to continue the development of a short-wave infrared (SWIR) optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The system is based on a Yb-ber chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser delivering 400 fs long pulses, centered around 1030 nm, at 200 kHz repetition rate and 40 W average power. READ MORE

6. 5. Noncollinear optical parametric amplification of a supercontinuum
