description

Taking advantage of the non-adiabatic blue-shift of high-order harmonics generated by a fixed frequency Nd:Glass laser system, we are able to report more than 50 % coverage of the XUV spectral range between 18 nm and 35 nm. The generated harmonic lines are capable of seeding Ni-like Y, Zr and Mo soft x-ray lasers and others.
