Artemis at the Central Laser Facility
overview
Artemis uses ultrashort pulses of extreme ultraviolet light to investigate ultrafast electron dynamics in condensed matter and gas-phase molecules, and for coherent lensless imaging.
Artemis is based on high repetition rate, few optical cycles and widely tuneable laser sources, and ultrafast XUV (10-100 eV) pulses produced through high harmonic generation. We exploit the femtosecond time-resolution afforded by harmonics to use them as ultrafast probes of electron dynamics. Our key technique is time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with XUV high harmonic probe pulses and we have three dedicated end-stations for gas- and solid-phase experiments. We also exploit the spatial coherence of the XUV to use coherent diffractive imaging techniques.
