We present our attoline which is a versatile attosecond beamline at the Ultrafast Laser Physics Group at ETH Zurich for attosecond spectroscopy in a variety of targets. High-harmonic generation (HHG) in noble gases with an infrared (IR) driving field is employed to generate pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral regime for XUV-IR cross-correlation measurements. The IR pulse driving the HHG and the pulse involved in the measurements are used in a non-collinear set-up that gives independent access to the different beams. Single attosecond pulses are generated with the polarization gating technique and temporally characterized with attosecond streaking. This attoline contains two target chambers that can be operated simultaneously. A toroidal mirror relay-images the focus from the first chamber into the second one. In the first interaction region a dedicated double-target allows for a simple change between photoelectron/photoion measurements with a time-of-flight spectrometer and transient absorption experiments. Any end station can occupy the second interaction chamber. A surface analysis chamber containing a hemispherical electron analyzer was employed to demonstrate successful operation. Simultaneous RABBITT measurements in two argon jets were recorded for this purpose.
我们展示了我们的阿秒光束线,它是苏黎世联邦理工学院超快激光物理小组的一条多功能阿秒光束线,用于对各种靶材进行阿秒光谱研究。利用红外(IR)驱动场在稀有气体中产生高次谐波(HHG),以在极紫外(XUV)光谱区域产生脉冲,用于XUV-IR互相关测量。驱动HHG的红外脉冲和测量中涉及的脉冲用于非共线设置,从而可以独立获取不同的光束。利用偏振门控技术产生单个阿秒脉冲,并通过阿秒条纹技术对其进行时间表征。这条阿秒光束线包含两个可以同时运行的靶室。一个环形镜将第一个腔室的焦点中继成像到第二个腔室。在第一个相互作用区域,一个专用的双靶允许使用飞行时间光谱仪进行光电子/光离子测量和瞬态吸收实验之间的简单切换。任何终端站都可以占据第二个相互作用腔室。使用一个包含半球形电子分析仪的表面分析腔室来证明其成功运行。为此记录了在两个氩气喷流中的同时RABBITT测量结果。
