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!
