- ItemReal-time stimulated Raman spectroscopy with a non-collinear optical parametric oscillator(Washington, DC : Soc., 2021) Beichert, Luise; Binhammer, Yuliya; Andrade, José R. C.; Mevert, Robin; Kniggendorf, Ann-Kathrin; Roth, Bernhard; Morgner, UweUltrafast detection of microplastic particles is becoming a vital problem, as these particles are found in water sources worldwide. Ideally, a live analysis in flow is desirable to directly monitor the water quality for contaminations. Therefore, coherent Raman spectroscopy techniques require fast and broadband tunable lasers to address all relevant spectral regions of the investigated samples. In our work, we combine a high power non-collinear optical parametric oscillator with a real-time stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy setup. The light source is continously tunable from 700 nm to 1030 nm in less than 10 ms, delivering an average output power of more than 500 mW with sub-ps pulses. We show the immediate observation of mixing processes and the detection of microplastic particles in water solution with a spectral window of more than 2000 cm-1.
- ItemAbsolute EUV reflectivity measurements using a broadband high-harmonic source and an in situ single exposure reference scheme(Washington, DC : Soc., 2022) Abel, Johann J.; Wiesner, Felix; Nathanael, Jan; Reinhard, Julius; Wünsche, Martin; Schmidl, Gabriele; Gawlik, Annett; Hübner, Uwe; Plentz, Jonathan; Rödel, Christian; Paulus, Gerhard G.; Fuchs, SilvioWe present a tabletop setup for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) reflection spectroscopy in the spectral range from 40 to 100 eV by using high-harmonic radiation. The simultaneous measurements of reference and sample spectra with high energy resolution provide precise and robust absolute reflectivity measurements, even when operating with spectrally fluctuating EUV sources. The stability and sensitivity of EUV reflectivity measurements are crucial factors for many applications in attosecond science, EUV spectroscopy, and nano-scale tomography. We show that the accuracy and stability of our in situ referencing scheme are almost one order of magnitude better in comparison to subsequent reference measurements. We demonstrate the performance of the setup by reflective near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure measurements of the aluminum L2/3 absorption edge in α-Al2O3 and compare the results to synchrotron measurements.
