FLASH HOLOGRAPHIC MICROSCOPY USING A COMPACT EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET TABLE TOP LASER
Abstract: We recorded the oscillation of sub-
micron pillars using time resolved
extreme ultraviolet Fourier transform
Holography. The source utilized was a
46.9 nm tabletop capillary discharge
with an EUV wavelength of 46.9nm,
which provided large flux of coherent
illumination. The bright illumination
allowed for Fresnel Zone plate to
produce a reference and object beam
to create the hologram. The reference
wave is created by the first order focus
while a central opening in the zone
plate illuminates the object. Flash
imaging technique allowed for imaging
of oscillating nano-pillars at MHz
frequencies.
