Table-top sources ... beyond present levels. The push to shorter EUV wavelengths — for example, in the water window — will require modifications both to the drive laser and to the XUUS itself.

The laser is made using rubidium atoms in D2 lines, a well-defined energy level that is considered ... the laser that made it noisy. Usually, table-top lasers use bulky components to get rid ...

This well-known approach allows table-top laser systems to generate pulses with peak powers at the terawatt level. Optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) is a scheme that swaps the ...
