NCCR MUST at Scientifica 2021Laser Seminar: Quantum Design of Coherent X-rays for Imaging at the Space-Time Resolution Extreme
| Date | Mo, 19.12.2016 | |
| Time | 16.45 | |
| Speaker | Tenio Popmintchev, Physics Department, Center for Advanced Nanoscience, University of California San Diego, USA | |
| Location | ETH Zurich, Hönggerberg Campus, HPF G6 | |
| Program | Nonlinear optics revolutionized the ability to create directed, laser-like light particularly in the regions where lasers based on conventional approaches are not practical. New breakthroughs in attosecond extreme nonlinear optics promise a similar revolution in the X-ray regime. In this talk, I will discuss the limits of the fundamental quantum physics and the extreme nonlinear optics of the process of high order harmonic generation in the context of creating coherent X-ray waveforms which can be tailored at the moment of generation. Such a versatile designer light is ideal for effective 5 dimensional studies of various bio- and nano-systems with attosecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolution, as well as with element specificity. I will also discuss the path forward for generating bright coherent X-ray beams from a laboratory-scale apparatus at photon energies of 1-10 keV and greater with unprecedented attosecond-to-zeptosecond pulse durations, and with arbitrary spectral, temporal shapes, and polarization state. A fully spatially and temporally coherent version of the Roentgen X-ray tube with exquisite quantum control of the properties of the soft and hard X-ray light may be possible. 1. T.
