Description
Extreme UltraViolet (EUV) High-Harmonic Generation (HHG) table-top sources and soft to hard X-ray Free Electron lasers (XFELs) have opened a new era in science, providing ultrashort, coherent and tunable pulses that are currently used to perform cutting edge experiments in Atomic and Molecular physics, condensed matter physics, biology and chemistry. Most of the reported studies rely on linear light-matter interactions, which are fundamentally limited in the dynamical information they can provide. Non-linear radiation-matter interactions have proven to be a powerful tool to unravel hitherto inaccessible properties. The advent of the above sources now enable non-linear techniques in the EUV/X-ray range, akin to what occurred with IR-visible-UV non-linear optics, by accessing the properties of materials at the nanoscale level, with femtosecond time resolution, chemical selectivity, high momentum, and polarization control.| Period | 2026 |
