摘要：
We demonstrate that vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) pulses (lambda similar to 160 nm) with 20-fs duration can be fully characterized by plasma-mirror frequency-resolved optical gating. Plasma is formed as an ultrafast optical switch on a fused silica surface by irradiation of an intense near-infrared (NIR) femtosecond laser pulse. We measure the spectra of the VUV pulses reflected off plasma as a function of the delay with respect to the NIR pulse and reconstruct it to simultaneously extract a nearly Fourier-transform limited VUV pulse shape and a time-dependent reflectivity of plasma using the least-squares generalized projections algorithm. We show that there is almost no spatial dependence of the VUV pulse shape, whereas the plasma mirror reflectivity strongly depends on the spatial region. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
