  • Sampling measurement of soft-x-ray-pulse shapes by femtosecond sequential ionization of Kr+ in an intense laser field.
    Optics letters, 2004
    Co-Authors: Katsuya Oguri, Tadashi Nishikawa, T. Ozaki, Hidetoshi Nakano
    Abstract:

    We propose a Sampling technique for measuring the shape of ultrashort soft-x-ray pulses. The technique uses the transient state of Kr+ ions that is produced by the femtosecond sequential evolution of Kr ions during optical-field-induced ionization as an ultrafast x-ray-absorption Sampling Gate. We demonstrate the technique by measuring the pulse shape of the 51st harmonic (15.6 nm) generated by a 100-fs titanium:sapphire laser pulse. The measured pulse duration is 220 fs. Our experimental result confirms that the sequential evolution of Kr+ ions from neutral Kr to Kr2+ is the dominant contribution to the ionization process from the aspect of time-domain measurement.

  • Ultrashort soft x-ray pulse-shape measurement using optical field ionization dynamics in noble gas
    Applications of X Rays Generated from Lasers and Other Bright Sources II, 2001
    Co-Authors: Katsuya Oguri, Hidetoshi Nakano, Tadashi Nishikawa, Naoshi Uesugi
    Abstract:

    We propose a cross-correlation technique for measuring the shape of an ultrashort soft x-ray-pulse using the rapid change in the Kr+ population that occurs during optical field-induced ionization. By calculating the time evolution of the Kr charge states during ionization, we showed that the increase in the Kr+ population operates as 'switch', and the transient state of Kr+ during the sequential ionization operates as 'Sampling Gate' for measuring a soft x-ray-pulse shape. The temporal resolution of this technique is expected to overcome the limitation imposed by the ionizing laser pulse duration as a result of the ultrafast nature of optical field-induced ionization. Using the 'switch' operation, we measured a soft x-ray-shape pulse are 15.6 nm emitted from W plasma produced by a 100-fs laser pulse. Assuming a Gaussian temporal profile, we found the soft x-ray-pulse duration to be about 4 ps. This result is in good agreement with the duration measured with an x-ray streak camera thus configuring the feasibility of this 'switch' operation. The 'Sampling Gate' operation will be useful for directly measuring the original pulse shape of a femtosecond soft x-ray.© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
