Overview

Experimental study demonstrates extreme ultraviolet radiation generation using bow-tie gold nano-antennas, revealing length-dependent thermal damage thresholds and enhanced emitter density.

Key Points

  • To evaluate extreme ultraviolet and high-order harmonic radiation generation driven by plasmonic field enhancement in bow-tie gold optical antenna arrays, focusing on thermal limitations and local emitter density.
  • Simulated optical response and high-order harmonic generation using finite-difference time-domain calculations.
  • Fabricated bow-tie gold optical antenna arrays and exposed them to peak laser field intensities to evaluate performance and damage limits experimentally.
  • Characterized gas density in the immediate vicinity of the optical antennas to calculate the participating atomic population.
  • Identified and experimentally validated an antenna-length-dependent thermal damage threshold under high-intensity laser excitation.
  • Demonstrated that the gas atom count actively contributing to extreme ultraviolet emission is nearly an order of magnitude higher than previously reported.
