EUV generation by plasmonic field enhancement using nanostructures

Plasmonic field enhancement using metal nanostructures is investigated to boost the peak intensity of the incident femtosecond laser by a factor of greater than 20 dB while retaining the original ultrashort pulse dynamics. This method enables extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light generation directly from...

Description
Summary:Plasmonic field enhancement using metal nanostructures is investigated to boost the peak intensity of the incident femtosecond laser by a factor of greater than 20 dB while retaining the original ultrashort pulse dynamics. This method enables extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light generation directly from moderate femtosecond pulses of ~1 x 1011 W/cm2 intensities without auxiliary power amplification, demonstrating a possibility of achieving robust and reproducible EUV sources of the nano-scale for diverse EUV applications for microscopy, lithography and spectroscopy.
