Scanless laser waveform measurement in the near-infrared

APL Photonics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 10(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Field-resolved measurements of few-cycle laser waveforms allow access to ultrafast electron dynamics in light–matter interactions and are key future lightwave electronics. Recently, sub-cycle gating based on nonlinear excitation active pixel sensors has allowed the first single-shot mid-infrared optical fields. Extending techniques shorter wavelengths, however, is not feasible using silicon-based detectors with bandgaps near-infrared. Here, we demonstrate an all-optical sampling technique for near-infrared fields, wherein intense fundamental field generates a gate through wide-bandgap crystal, this case, ZnO, which can sample electric weak perturbing pulse. By crossed-beam geometry, temporal evolution mapped onto transverse spatial axis medium, waveform captured single measurement spatially resolved fluorescence emission from crystal.

Published: Feb. 24, 2025

High-order harmonic generation is a cornerstone of attosecond science, with applications spanning from spectroscopy to the creation ultrashort light pulses temporal duration falling in regime. In addition, beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) allow studies light–matter interactions mediated by OAM couplings. this work, we present an alternative approach generating high-order vortices using elegant Laguerre–Gaussian (eLG) beams. We examine spatiotemporal characteristics these far-field regime and demonstrate how low divergence eLG makes them suitable for producing extreme ultraviolet (XUV) twisted pulses. Additionally, solving Fraunhofer integral, analyze influence azimuthal radial indices on spatial profile vortex beams, thereby exploring impact larger topological charges. This study extends concept generated beyond paraxial approximation.

High-repetition-rate ultrafast electron diffraction with direct electron detection

Structural Dynamics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(5)

Published: July 1, 2024

Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) instruments typically operate at kHz or lower repetition rates and rely on indirect detection of electrons. However, these experiments encounter limitations because they are required to use beams containing a relatively large number electrons (≫100 electrons/pulse), leading severe space-charge effects. Consequently, pulses with long durations transverse diameters used interrogate the sample. Here, we introduce novel UED instrument operating high rate employing direct detection. We significantly below regime by using 1–140 per pulse 30 kHz. demonstrate ability detect time-resolved signals from thin film solid samples difference contrast signal, ΔI/I0, an response function as low 10−5 184-fs (FWHM), respectively, without temporal compression. Overall, our findings underscore importance increasing adopting scheme, which will be particularly impactful for gas-phase UED. Our newly developed scheme enables more efficient sensitive investigations ultrafast dynamics in photoexcited ultrashort beams.
