Extreme ultraviolet tomography of multi-jet gas puff target for high-order harmonic generation

摘要

A volume, tomographic reconstruction of a novel, multi-jet gas puff target, developed for possible applications in high-order harmonic generation (HHG), is presented. The target, produced by pulsed injection of argon gas through nozzle in a form of linearly oriented small orifices, has been characterized in the extreme ultraviolet at 13.5 nm wavelength. Target density estimations were performed, and 3-D representation of pulsed gaseous target has been obtained by combining 2-D shad-owgram images, recorded at various rotation angles. More detailed information about higher-order jets, formed as a result of collisions of primary jets, was obtained. Tomographic studies of such type of targets dedicated for HHG have been obtained to our knowledge for the first time.
