Conventional EUV lasers in pinched capillary-discharge configurations for neon-like argon ions at 46.9 nm have mostly employed fairly inefficient excitation schemes using very high supply voltages (≥100 kV) and very large stored energies...
High harmonic generation (HHG) sources [1] provide fully coherent laser-like radiation in the Extreme-Ultraviolet (EUV/XUV) and soft X-ray spectral range with femto- or attosecond pulse duration. These sources are ideal metrology tools in scientific or industrial applications: The short wavelength allows very high spatial resolution in scattering or imaging of nanostructures created by...
