Goals of the network

Develop EUV-soft-hard Xray nonlinear spectroscopy (an optical) at Free Electron Lasers (FELs), High Harmonic Generation (HHG) sources, etc.

• 3 wave mixing:
  • Second Harmonic Generation (SHG)
  • Sum/Difference Frequency Generation (S/DFG)
  • Optical Rectification (OR)
• 4 wave mixing:
  • Transient Grating (TG)
  • Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) and TRUE-CARS,
  • 2D and multi-dimensional spectroscopy

Create a strong community (critical mass):

• X-ray scientists
• Laser scientists
• Atomic Molecular and Optical physics, Chemistry, Condensed Matter, Bio scientists
• Theoreticians
• FEL machine scientists

Build new experimental capabilities

• Portable-permanent instruments
• Dedicated beamlines, facility upgrades

Expand the User’s community!
