The project focuses on High-harmonic generation (HHG) from condensed matter, and further explores the possibility of high-harmonic generation from micro- and nano-structured silica. HHG from solids was discovered less than a decade ago, and it is expected to be a new source for coherent ultrafast pulses, showing potential in many applications such as HHG spectroscopy, imaging and photonic devices. By generating high-harmonics in structured solids, the capability to control HHG properties by engineering the topology of the surface on solids has been demonstrated. Previous research has demonstrated the control of HHG in the visible light regime by generating from structured semiconductors. In this project, we aim to generate high-harmonics in the XUV regime, and control the properties of XUV light. Our work shows the potential of using structured dielectric materials as new XUV optics, and applications on HHG high-resolution lens-less imaging.
