Abstract
This proposal aims to develop laboratory-scale high photon flux sources of coherent radiation in vacuum ultraviolet (6 to 20 eV) and ultrabroadband terahertz (0.1 to 25 THz / 0.4 to 100 meV) using femtosecond lasers. The development of this coherent vacuum ultraviolet source constitutes the first step towards the construction of a laboratory scale beamline with parameters optimized for th…
