High Energy Attosecond Source for Studying Electron Correlation
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of a high-energy (100 mJ), high repletion-rate (1 kHz) Nd:YLF laser at 527 nm, as well as a set of transmission-type pulse compression gratings. This equipment will be used in developing a Ti:Sapphire laser system for driving the high energy attosecond pulse generation. Such attosecond pulses are important for conducting experiments for finding the answers to many fundamental and applied physics questions, such as how quickly charge can migrate from end-toend in a train molecule. The electron correlation will be studied with pump-probe methods to achieve attosecond time resolution, for the first time.
