We report successful compensation of the thermally induced laser beam distortion associated with high energy 110 mJ and high average power femtosecond laser system of 11 Watts operated with vacuum compressor gratings. To enhance laser-based light source brightness requires development of laser systems with higher energy and higher average power. Managing the high thermal loading on vacuum optical components is a key issue in the implementation of this approach. To our knowledge this is the first time that such thermal induced distortions on the vacuum compressor gratings are characterized and compensated.

The use of non-cryogenic certified commercial electronics for cryogenic applications may be attractive due to their cost and availability, but it also carries risks related to reliability, performance and thermal compatibility. The decision to use commercial components that are not certified for cryogenics instead of components specifically designed for such applications must be carefully weighed based on specific project needs and risk tolerances. This work presents the characterisation of an attenuator circuit at cryogenic temperatures used in a microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) readout system.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the temperature gradient between the growth surface and substrate during the thin-film growth of TiO films, challenging the common assumption that they are at the same temperature.
- - A specialized NiCr/NiSi thin-film thermocouple is created to measure this temperature gradient during the growth process, showing significant temperature differences across its layers.
- - The measured temperature of the substrate is consistent at 132.05 °C, and the study constructs a model to better understand heat conduction in the vacuum chamber during film growth.

We introduce an extreme ultraviolet (XUV)-beamline designed for the time-resolved investigation and coherent control of attosecond (as) electron dynamics in atoms and molecules by polarization-shaped as-laser pulses. Shaped as-pulses are generated through high-harmonic generation (HHG) of tailored white-light supercontinua (WLS) in noble gases. The interaction of shaped as-pulses with the sample is studied using velocity map imaging (VMI) techniques to achieve the differential detection of photoelectron wave packets.

Vacuum-assisted headspace solid-phase microextraction (Vac-HS-SPME) is a technique used to enhance SPME sampling of semi-volatile organic compounds. Here, it was combined with a high-capacity SPME Arrow, which features a larger volume of extraction phase and a more rugged configuration than traditional extraction fibers. An in-depth assessment of the critical parameters was conducted to achieve optimal extraction of representative compounds from a model solid sample matrix (Ottawa sand).

The spectral broadening of high-energy (typically more than 100 µJ) pulses has only been realized in gas-filled MPCs due to the significantly lower nonlinear coefficient of gases compared with solid-state media. Whereas these systems reach impressive performance in terms of spectral broadening with very low spatiotemporal couplings, they are typically complex setups, i.
