Laser s kapilárním výbojem Table-top XUV CDL

This compact capillary-discharge laser is based on a lasing of neon-like argon (Ar⁸⁺) ions providing coherent radiation at a wavelength of 46.9 nm. The laser pulse energy monitored by a vacuum photodiode reaches 10 μJ with a very good shot-to-shot stability at a repetition rate of 5 Hz. A laser pulse duration fluctuates around 1.5 ns (FWHM). The XUV-laser beam is guided into the vacuum interaction chamber where it is used – either focused by a multilayer spherical mirror or unfocused – to irradiate a chosen sample, e.g., plasmid DNA, diamond, graphene, ionic crystals, metallic coatings, and so on.
