Light sources

Delopment of light sources for the project

A number of light sources are currently under development as part of the project. Details for these systems can be accessed here:

• Few-cycle source

  A few-cycle source based on hollow fibre pulse compression, for the generation of attosecond pulses.

• Few-cycle OPCPA source

  Construction of a high energy OPCPA based source based, as a drive laser for attosecond pulse generation.

• Raman based source development

  Demonstration of a Raman based scheme for the generation of high power, isolated, sub-femtosecond pulses.

• Attosecond XUV source

  Development of an attosecond XUV source
