It is found that strong squeezing can be obtained by special superposition of coherent states along a straight line in the \ensuremath{\alpha} -plane. This mechanism opens new possibilities for squeezing, e.g., molecular vibrations during Franck-Condon transition induced short light pulse.
The possibility of making multilayer reflecting coatings by using materials whose dielectric susceptibility ∊ is very near to unity at the frequency under consideration discussed. For pair substances with a given Re∊ and Im∊ explicit expressions are obtained for value reflection coefficient optimum thickness layers. published data on allowed us choose pairs which one may hope create (in principle) mirrors normal incidence R ~ 50% λ ≳ 30 Å.
Radiative characteristics of a laser plasma are considered. It is shown that considerable proportion the absorbed energy may be converted into resonance lines multiply charged ions. Two methods for utilization x-ray radiation in population inversion two-component discussed. In one method, component dense core used selective pumping some level other outer rare region. second ions layer to photoionize inner core; this produces conditions analogous those supercooled and established. all cases,...
We have demonstrated near-wavelength resolution microscopy in the extreme ultraviolet. Images of 50 nm diameter nanotubes were obtained with a single ~1 ns duration pulse from desktop-size 46.9 laser. measured modulation transfer function microscope for three different numerical aperture zone plate objectives, demonstrating that 54 half-period structures can be resolved.
