Fourier transform holography with high harmonic spectra for attosecond imaging applications

Opt Lett. 2015 Jul 1;40(13):3205-8. doi: 10.1364/OL.40.003205.

Abstract

We demonstrate a method of using a Fourier holographic technique to utilize attosecond soft x-ray pulses to image nanometer-scale objects. A discrete frequency comb of laser-generated high-order harmonics, yielding a train of attosecond pulses, has been used to record spatially and spectrally resolved images. The individual wavelengths were also combined to form a single image, albeit with lower spatial resolution, demonstrating the applicability of the method to using isolated attosecond pulses with continuous bandwidths.
