AI Article Synopsis
- XUV light is challenging to manipulate due to its strong interactions with materials, making control difficult.
- A new method using opto-optical modulation based on a geometrical model allows for the shaping of XUV light effectively.
- This technique involves an infrared light pulse that modifies the intensity profile of far-field XUV light, and the geometrical model helps predict the outcomes of different infrared pulse profiles.
Article Abstract
Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light is notoriously difficult to control due to its strong interaction cross section with media. We demonstrate a method to overcome this problem by using opto-optical modulation guided by a geometrical model to shape XUV light. A bell-shaped infrared light pulse is shown to imprint a trace of its intensity profile onto the XUV light in the far-field, such that a change in the intensity profile of the infrared pulse leads to a change in the shape of the far-field XUV light. The geometrical model assists the user in predicting the effect of a specific intensity profile of the infrared pulse, thus enabling a deterministic process.
