Highly versatile, two-color setup for high-order harmonic generation using spatial light modulators

Abstract

We present a novel, interferometric, two-color, high-order harmonic generation setup, based on a turn-key Ytterbium-doped femtosecond laser source and its second harmonic. Each interferometer arm contains a spatial light modulator, with individual capabilities to manipulate the spatial beam profiles and to stabilize the relative delay between the fundamental and the second harmonic. Additionally, separate control of the relative power and focusing geometries of the two color beams is implemented to conveniently perform automatized scans of multiple parameters. A live diagnostics system gives continuous information during ongoing measurements.
