OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR EXTREME-ULTRAVIOLET AN...

The book reviews the most recent achievements in optical technologies for XUV and X-ray
coherent sources. Particular attention is given to free-electron-laser facilities  but also to
other sources available at present  such as synchrotrons  high-order laser harmonics and X-ray
lasers. The optical technologies relevant to each type of source are discussed. In addition 
the main technologies used for photon handling and conditioning  namely multilayer mirrors 
adaptive optics  crystals and gratings are explained.Experiments using coherent light received
during the last decades a lot of attention for the X-ray regime. Strong efforts were taken for
the realization of almost fully coherent sources  e.g. the free-electron lasers  both as
independent sources in the femtosecond and attosecond regimes and as seeding sources for
free-electron-lasers and X-ray gas lasers. In parallel to the development of sources  optical
technologies for photon handling and conditioning of such coherent and intense X-ray beams
advanced. New problems were faced for the realization of optical components of beamlines
demanding to manage coherent X-ray photons  e.g. the preservation of coherence and time
structure of ultra short pulses.
