Generation of short-wavelength (<160 nm) radiation by conventional lasers
Chalupský, Jaromír ; Malý, Petr (advisor) ; Krása, Josef (referee)
The theoretical part of this diploma thesis seeks to explain the methods used for generation of coherent short-wavelength radiation. It describes the principles and the operation conditions of direct laser sources and indirect coherent radiation sources based on non-linear effects. Special attention is then paid to the short-wavelength free-electron lasers. This work summarizes properties of numerous sources of this kind. The introductory part of the thesis deals with the physical background of the generation and the manipulation of shortwavelength (VUV/XUV) radiation. The experimental part gives a summary of the results obtained at the FLASH facility (Free Electron LASer in Hamburg; earlier known as VUV FEL) operated at DESY. Methods and instrumentation used for investigating the materials damage due to laser ablation are described in this part of the thesis. UV-vis emission spectra of ablation plume were measured. Main goal is here to determine the ablation thresholds and the effective atenuation lengths in poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), quartz (a-SiO2) and monocrystalline silicon irradiated with pulsed (~30fs) short-wavelength (32nm) intense laser radiation.
