Extreme-Ultraviolet Meta-Optics for Attosecond Microscopy
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources have matured, both in brightness, as well as in producing ever shorter attosecond light pulses. Contrary, transmissive EUV optics remain sparse due to material absorption. Thus, EUV microscopy today focuses mainly on lensless techniques or secondary observables such as photoelectrons. EUVORAM (Extreme-Ultraviolet Meta-Optics for Attosecond Microscopy) will experimentally demonstrate that meta-optical devices are realizable in the EUV using a novel design approach and that they can solve the current lack of transmissive EUV optics. By emulating the spatial phase profiles of aspheric lenses, we will fabricate focusing meta-optics yielding…
