Strongly dispersive transient Bragg grating for high harmonics

Opt Lett. 2010 Jun 15;35(12):2028-30. doi: 10.1364/OL.35.002028.

Abstract

We create a transient Bragg grating in a high-harmonic generation medium using two counterpropagating pulses. The Bragg grating disperses the harmonics in angle and can diffract a large bandwidth with temporal resolution limited only by the source size.
