Light at the End of the Funnel: IR Becomes EUV

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GARCHING, Germany, Oct. 18, 2011 — The energy of IR light pulses has been concentrated with a nanofunnel and used to generate extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) light flashes. These femtosecond flashes are thought to contain trains of attosecond pulses. Attosecond EUV light pulses are an important tool for exploring electron dynamics in atoms, molecules and solids. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), along with colleagues at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Georgia State University, said the new technology could help measure the movement of electrons with the highest...Read full article

    extreme ultraviolet
    Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) refers to a specific range of electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. EUV radiation has wavelengths between 10 and 124 nanometers, which corresponds to frequencies in the range of approximately 2.5 petahertz to 30 exahertz. This range is shorter in wavelength and higher in frequency compared to the far-ultraviolet and vacuum ultraviolet regions. Key points about EUV include: Source: EUV radiation is produced by extremely hot and energized...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
