Abstract

We present a scheme for amplifying an extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) seed isolated attosecond pulse via stimulated Raman scattering of a pulse-train pump. At sufficient seed and pump intensity, the amplification is nonlinear, and the amplitude of the seed pulse can reach that of the pump, one order of magnitude higher than the initial seed amplitude. In the linear amplification regime, we find that the spectral signature of the pump pulse train is imprinted on the spectrum of the amplified seed pulse. Since the spectral signature is imprinted with its frequency downshifted by the plasma frequency, it is possible to deduce the electron density in the region of interaction. This region can be of micrometer length scale longitudinally. By varying the delay between the seed and the pump, this scheme provides a local electron-density measurement inside solid-density plasmas that cannot be probed with optical frequencies, with micrometer resolution.

  51. The spatial resolution was doubled, Δx≃0.34 nm, and the number of particles per cell was increased to 8000 per cell and per species, i.e., in total 16 times the number of particles compared with the nominal simulations. We deemed that the simulation results of the spontaneous RS were sufficiently converged when the energy difference between 4000 and 8000 particles per cell was smaller than 10%.
