A. Lhuillier et al., HIGH-ORDER HARMONICS - A COHERENT SOURCE IN THE XUV RANGE, Journal of nonlinear optical physics and materials, 4(3), 1995, pp. 647-665
We review the main results concerning high-order generation processes
from the point of view of a potential user of this new source of XUV r
adiation. The perspectives for optimizing the source, both in efficien
cy and in spectral range, its characteristics and in particular, its c
oherence properties, are discussed. Finally, we describe two experimen
ts, which demonstrate the usefulness of the harmonics as a short-pulse
, coherent source in the XUV domain.
