The article presents the results of the detailed experimental study of fast conical discharge with Ar as a working gas. The discharge produces a compact transient plasma which emits extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation with wavelength 10.8 nm. The intensity of this spectral line is an order of magnitude larger than the rest of the radiation in EUV band. Space resolved EUV spectra allowed us to get the estimation of the effective size of the radiation source (less than 0.5 mm). Time resolved spectra (frame time 20 ns) show that a 10.8-nm spectral line is emitted during 50-60 ns. Charge exchange of Ar IX ions with excited atoms of Ar I in the result of interaction of hot compact plasma in the cumulation point of conical shockwave and cold working gas is considered as the main phenomenon, responsible for the emission of the detected radiation.

Non-optically active water quality parameters (NAWQPs) are essential for surface water quality assessments, although automated monitoring methods are time-consuming, include labor-intensive chemical pretreatment, and pose challenges for high spatiotemporal resolution monitoring. Advancements in spectroscopic techniques and machine learning may address these issues. We integrated ultraviolet-visible-near infrared absorption spectroscopy with physical-chemical measurements to predict total nitrogen (TN), dissolved oxygen (DO), and total phosphorus (TP) in the Yangtze River Basin, China.

However, the EUV illumination optics design using conventional methods have flaws in illumination efficiency and illumination uniformity due to the limitations of relay configuration and matching method that can only consider one factor affecting illumination uniformity. One-mirror configuration can improve illumination efficiency by reducing the number of mirrors.

Using a developed classical-trajectory model that includes Coulomb effects and the improved initial conditions, it is demonstrated that the resulting harmonic emission times match well with those obtained by applying the Gabor transform to data from numerical solutions of time-dependent Schrödinger equations for helium and hydrogen atoms. This confirms a classical HHG scheme under single-photon ionization: The electron, ionized by absorbing one XUV photon, oscillates in the infrared field and may recollide with the parent ion, emitting high-frequency radiation.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe present the subcycle spectral structures from attosecond transient absorption spectra of helium by accurately solving the full three-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation in extreme ultraviolet attosecond pulse and an orthogonally polarized infrared (IR) laser field. We discover that the subcycle spectral features associated with the dressed 1 ( ≥ 4) states and light-induced states, referred to as , , and , can be strongly modified or even enhanced when the strength ratio of the orthogonal laser field in two polarized laser directions changes. To understand the spectral evolution of the subcycle structures, we perform calculations of the time-dependent population and time-frequency analysis.
