Researchers from Harvard University and Technische Universität Graz have successfully demonstrated the use of metasurfaces as a superior way to focus extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light. The paper titled “Extreme Ultraviolet Metalens by Vacuum Guiding” published in the journal Science Advances, highlights the use of holes in a silicon membrane to efficiently vacuum-guide light around the 50-nm wavelength. The research … Continue reading
ISTEQ introduces their latest products in the EUV light source — 13.5 nm TEUS (S100, S200 and S400) product line. These devices are based on laser-produced plasma (LPP) with extremely high brightness, low debris, and a high duty cycle. Right now this is the only LPP EUV light source available worldwide for mask inspections and … Continue reading
greateyes has updated the specification sheets for their ALEX and ELSE full-frame deep cooling scientific CCD cameras. Key specifications for both series include: High quantum efficiency Ultra-deep cooling to -100 °C 18-bit dynamic range Compact design Multi-MHz readout Each series has an “i” model suitable for imaging applications and “s” for spectroscopy applications. ALEX Cameras … Continue reading
Researchers from MBI Berlin and ETH Zürich use a Yb: KGW-driven frontend built by Light Conversion to demonstrate the first thin-disk-pumped OPCPA system beyond the terawatt level. The terawatt pulses generate intense extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pulses by high-order harmonic generation. Part of the experimental setup for this research included a Yb:KGW-driven frontend. This provides the seed pulses for … Continue reading
On December 8th 2020, greateyes will participate in the ICXRL conference. ICXRL is a biannual event to promote the development of advanced extreme UV and X-ray sources, and their scientific applications in various fields. Due to COVID-19, the event will be held online as a Zoom conference this year. The conference will present the latest … Continue reading
Recently, greateyes has developed a highly customized camera for many applications. The ALEX-i 2k2k (part of the ALEX-i series) is perfectly suited for spectroscopy and imaging applications in the VUV, EUV and X-ray range up to 20 keV. The ALEX-i 2k2k plus camera has 2048×2048 pixels, pixel size of 13.5 x 13.5 µm, and an … Continue reading
