Setup / Configuration Supersonic gas jet for generation of cold molecular samples XUV imaging spectrometer consisting of: concave flat-field grating 80 mm diameter micro-channel plate phosphor screen assembly CCD camera		Literature A. Rupenyan, J. B. Bertrand, D. M. Villeneuve, and H. J. Wörner, "All-optical measurement of high-harmonic amplitudes and phases in aligned N2 molecules", Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 033903 (2012) D.

The setup consists of two chambers. In the source chamber (right-hand side of the picture), high harmonics are generated in a supersonic gas jet (rotational temperature ~ 10 K) using femtosecond infrared pulses.		The generated light propagates into a differentially pumped XUV imaging spectrometer (left side), where a grating disperses the light in the horizontal dimension while allowing free divergence in the vertical dimension. The spectrally-resolved far-field profile is imaged by a MCP-phosphor-screen assembly and a CCD camera. The gas jet can be heated or cooled to reach temperatures between 20 and 150°C. In the source chamber, an ion detector is installed that measures the total ion yield generated during the HHG process. A flexible optical setup in front of the chamber allows for a variety of pump-probe experiments with femtosecond pulses ranging from 200 to 2600 nm.
