Nonlinear spectroscopy at the nanoscale from extreme ultraviolet to infrared

We propose to establish new linear and nonlinear spectroscopy facility for high-resolution and high-sensitivitymeasurements. We apply to purchase a spectrometer with unique and needed capacities to complement andremove applicability gap in the existing high-power pulsed laser sources and microscopy setups developed inhouse.The system will allow to consolidate a new branch of research developing and applying high harmonicsgeneration (HHG) from nanostructured solids. HHG produces light with extreme properties, including shortwavelengths down to extreme ultraviolet. With the proposed equipment, we aim to miniaturise such sourcesof light to the nanoscale, opening their applications in living matter studies, areas of high economic interest,investment return and education attractiveness.
