We report on the design and characterization of a grazing-incidence flat-field spectrograph that allows simultaneously the measurement of spectrum, beam divergence, and absolute flux of EUV and soft X-ray radiation for a beam of high-order laser harmonics generated by the interaction between an ultrashort femtosecond laser pulse and a gas jet. The instrument seems a very powerful tool for the understanding of the generation process.

AbstractIt is shown that various spectroscopic methods based on measurements of X-ray spectra radiated from cluster targets can be used for estimation of the destruction degree of clusters by laser prepulses. These methods allow insight to be gained regarding the important issue of preservation of the dense cluster core at the moment of the arrival of the main laser pulse. In addition, they can be used for quantitative estimation of the size of the undestroyed parts of the clusters and also for measuring the temperature and density of the preplasmas produced by the laser prepulses.

In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the initial temporal characterization and the temporal evolution of a picosecond laser pulse by a synchronized femtosecond laser pulse. After theoretically analyzing the measurement principle, we experimentally measure the initial temporal characterization of the picosecond laser pulse. Further, the temporal evolution of the picosecond laser pulse propagating in different lengths of a carbon disulfide (CS2) is measured. We find that the initial temporal shape of the picosecond laser pulse is smooth and clean. As increasing of the CS2 length, the pulse width of the picosecond laser pulse has a trend of slight narrow owing to the spatiotemporal coupling effect.
