Phase-locked, time-delayed harmonic pulses for high spectral resolution in the extreme ultraviolet

Opt Lett. 2001 Jul 1;26(13):1010-2. doi: 10.1364/ol.26.001010.

Abstract

We present experiments in the time and frequency domains aimed at confirming the measured mutual phase coherence of time-delayed, collinear harmonic pulses. We show that pairs of phase-locked harmonic pulses of medium order can be generated for peak intensities up to ~1.5 10(14)W/cm(2) in xenon, demonstrating the possibility of performing high-resolution spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet with Ramsey-like techniques.
