Using custom optics for ultrashort-pulse enhancement cavities, it demonstrates for the first time that at the envisaged power levels, the mitigation of thermal effects becomes indispensable even in cavities comprising solely reflective optics. It also studies cavities with large beams, albeit with low misalignment sensitivity, as a way to circumvent intensity-induced mirror damage. Average powers of several hundred kilowatts are demonstrated, which benefit hard x-ray sources based on Thomson scattering. Furthermore, pulses as short as 30 fs were obtained at more than 10 kW of average power and employed for high-harmonic generation with photon energies exceeding 100 eV at 250 MHz repetition rate, paving the way for frequency comb spectroscopy in this spectral region.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053LasersPhotonicsOpticsElectrodynamicsQuantum opticsOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Classical Electrodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21070Quantum Opticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050Lasers.Photonics.Optics.Electrodynamics.Quantum optics.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.Classical Electrodynamics.Quantum Optics.621.36Carstens Henningauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut833988BOOK9910300546503321Enhancement Cavities for the Generation of Extreme Ultraviolet and Hard X-Ray Radiation1864518UNINA
