Abstract
We present a compact, intrinsically stable common path interferometer for the seeding of free-electron lasers (FELs). The interferometer can handle the required ultraviolet seed wavelengths and features an excellent phase stability of 10 mrad at 265 nm. By seeding the FEL FERMI, we demonstrate the generation of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulse pairs with tunable delay and a delay stability of 6 as at 52.5 nm. Prospective applications are Fourier transform spectroscopy, nonlinear spectroscopy and coherent control experiments in the XUV and x-ray domain.
期刊介绍:
Published twice-monthly (24 issues per year), Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics covers the study of atoms, ions, molecules and clusters, and their structure and interactions with particles, photons or fields. The journal also publishes articles dealing with those aspects of spectroscopy, quantum optics and non-linear optics, laser physics, astrophysics, plasma physics, chemical physics, optical cooling and trapping and other investigations where the objects of study are the elementary atomic, ionic or molecular properties of processes.
