Colorado, Boulder Prof. David Attwood / UC Berkeley EE213 & AST21 / Spring 29 14_HHG_29.ppt
5 The HHG Process 1. A high electric field of a coherent, intense laser pulse liberates a core electron from the atom. 2. The electron is accelerated in the laser field. 3. The electron recombines with the atom (ion) in a very short interaction time, emitting relatively high energy photons, also of short duration. 4. The process simultaneously involves many electron-ion pairs, emitting photons in phase with the coherent laser pulse. 5. The coherence of the incident laser field is effectively transferred to the emitted EUV/SXR radiation. 6. The process occurs twice per cycle of the incident laser pulse, at well defined phases, resulting in harmonic emissions (odd only).
