A new framework for soft x-ray transient gratings
Publisher DOI
Abstract
The capability to use extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light for generating transient gratings (TGs) has enabled the study of thermoelastic and magnetic dynamics at the nanoscale, in thin solid samples and surfaces, without the need of specially modifying them. However, the current mirror-based setup for generating EUV TG limits both its extension to the soft x-ray photon energy range and the attainment of few femtosecond time-resolution. Here we propose to overcome these limitations with an alternative experimental scheme based on diffractive optical elements that has become feasible with the current technology. In addition, some aspects of the discussed setup may facilitate the implementation of the EUV TG approach at table-top high-harmonic generation sources.
