The ASAP project proposes to explore the quantum properties of light produced by high-order harmonic generation.
An optical frequency comb with high average power and a repetition rate of several tens of megahertz will be developed with the aim of producing a light source with unique properties in the extreme ultraviolet range
Architecture of the optical system to be developed during the project.
The project is at the crossroads of several fields of optics, including :
- Frequency combs
- High-order harmonic generation
- Quantum optics
A low-power demonstration experiment has already been implemented using a Ti:Sa oscillator.
Project leader: David BRESTEAU
