Abstract

We report the first experimental demonstration of a-periodic multilayer mirrors controlling the frequency sweep (chirp) of isolated attosecond XUV pulses. The concept was proven with about 200-attosecond pulses in the photon energy range of 100-130 eV measured via photoelectron streaking in neon. The demonstrated attosecond dispersion control is engineerable in a wide range of XUV photon energies and bandwidths. The resultant tailor-made attosecond pulses with highly enhanced photon flux are expected to significantly advance attosecond metrology and spectroscopy and broaden their range of applications.

Fig. 1

Operational principle of XUV chirped multilayers: Calculated square of the electric field amplitude of the standing wave formed in the multilayer structure upon reflection in the 94–133 eV photon energy range, normalized to that of the incident wave. Following the energy dependent maxima of the standing field, it is obvious that the penetration depth is wavelength dependent. Thus the mirrors introduce positive (a) and negative (b) chirp, resulting in an increasing and decreasing group delay for increasing photon energy respectively as the energy-dependent penetration depth signifies as depicted by the coloured arrows. The multilayer structure assumed here resembles the experimentally realized a-periodic multilayer mirrors as displayed in Fig. 2 (a/d) and (c/f).

Fig. 2

Characteristics of XUV chirped multilayer coatings designed and manufactured for the experiments: Set of XUV multilayers with positive (a), near zero (b) and negative (c) group delay dispersion. The diagrams compare the measured (solid black) with the designed (dotted green) reflectivity curves. The calculated group delays (derivative of the spectral phase with respect to angular frequency) are also displayed (dashed red curve). The transmittivity of a 150-nm palladium foil is additionally qualitatively plotted in panel (b), depicted by the blue dash-dotted line. The lower panels (d), (e) and (f) show the corresponding mirror-designs of the appropriate mirrors above. Each colour represents one material as explained by the legend in 2(e).

Fig. 3

Measured and retrieved attosecond electron streaking spectrograms, upper and lower row, respectively. Panels (a)-(c) and (d)-(f) display spectrograms recorded with attosecond pulses reflected off the mirrors described in Fig. 2(a)–2(c), respectively. The energy shift in the recorded spectra is proportional to the vector potential A_L(t) of the streaking laser field at the instant of photoemission, hence the dependence of this energy shift on the delay between the attosecond XUV pulse and the NIR laser field reflects the temporal evolution of the NIR laser field’s vector potential, A_L(t). Narrowing and broadening in the streaked electron spectra at the zero crossings is displayed by enhanced and diminished electron count rates, respectively. The small insets show the energy calibrated raw data before subtraction of the background.

Fig. 5

Retrieved spectral and temporal characteristics of the attosecond XUV pulse, upper row and lower row, respectively. Panels (a), (b) and (c) display the intensity spectrum (green dotted line) and group delay (red dashed line) of the attosecond XUV pulse reflected off the mirrors described in Fig. 2(a), 2(b), and 2(c), respectively, as retrieved from the measured streaking spectrograms shown in Fig. 3(a), 3(b), and 3(c), respectively. The black full lines depict the corresponding XUV spectra measured directly with an XUV spectrometer. The evaluated effective group-delay dispersions weighted by the final spectral XUV intensity are also shown. Panels (d), (e), (f) show the temporal intensity profile (black line) and temporal phase (red dashed line) retrieved from the streaking spectrograms of Fig. 3(a), 3(b), and 3(c), respectively. The XUV pulse duration (full width at intensity half maximum) has been evaluated and is displayed at the bottom of each panel.
