Time-resolved XUV photoelectron spectroscopy

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (TRPES) offers a powerful approach for studying photochemical processes in molecules with both high spectral and temporal resolution.
With the sensitivity for electronic and nuclear dynamics and the elimination of dark states, TRPES allows the study of a wide range of molecular reactions. Hereby, the primary limitation for observing these reactions is typically the UV ionization energy.
In this project, we are developing a tabletop high-harmonic generation (HHG) source as an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light source to enhance the observation window of photoelectron spectra.
The integration of TRPES with XUV ionization pulses will enable gap-less mapping of molecular reactions with high time and energy resolution.
