An extreme ultraviolet interferometer using high order harmonic generation

We present a new interferometer technique based on the interference of high-order harmonic generation radiation from translatable successive gas jets. The phase shifts in the apparatus are shown to originate from the Gouy phase shift of the driving laser. The technique can be used to deliver time delays between light pulses and we demonstrate the unprecedented capability of delivering pulses of extreme ultraviolet light delayed in time by as small as 100 zeptoseconds.We present a new interferometer technique based on the interference of high-order harmonic generation radiation from translatable successive gas jets.
