Studies of Collisional and Nonlinear Radiative Process for Development of Coherent UV and XUV Sources.
Abstract
The availability of recently developed high brightness picosecond rare gas halogen sources permits the performance of a broad range of basic physical studies of high-lying electronic states of atomic and molecular materials. Moreover, the extension of the ultraviolet source technology to the femtosecond range will enable the generation of extreme physical environments, namely, coherent irradiation with an electric field amplitude, that are impossible to establish by any other known means. Experiments conducted over the past year indicate that it may be feasible to examine the detailed properties of states in a wide variety of systems in the region above 100 eV, and even possibly into the 1000 range of excitation, with these new experimental tools. The excited configurations of principal interest are those coupled to adjacent continua, prominent members of which are multiply excited and core excited states. The nature of intra-atomic interactions, including collective motions, figures naturally and importantly in this topic.
