摘要
As high harmonic generation (HHG) sources have proliferated, the need for high resolution, affordable extreme ultraviolet (XUV) detectors has become ubiquitous. We studied lithium fluoride (LiF) crystals, traditionally used for x rays, as a detector for a tabletop XUV source from high harmonic generation in gases. The LiF response curve showed a dynamic range of 10(3) (not saturated), with a minimum threshold fluence of 66 mu J/cm(2). Imaging tests were performed revealing sub-micrometer spatial resolution. We successfully recorded a scan of the focal plane of a Fresnel zone plate with high dynamic range. With this study, we showed that LiF can be used as a detector for HHG XUV, with a high potential to do near field imaging of complex objects such as the focus of structured light.
