Experimental Demonstration of High-Energy Deep Ultraviolet Pulse Generation Through Soliton Dynamics in Gas-Filled Hollow Capillary Fibers

Abstract

Using soliton dynamics in 250 µm diameter Ne-filled hollow capillaries, we generate tunable, > 5 µJ, ultrafast pulses in the deep ultraviolet (200-330 nm). Further energy scaling and extension to the vacuum ultraviolet is predicted.
