Etude des dynamiques moléculaires sondées par générations d'harmoniques d'ordres élevés / Studies of molecular dynamics probed by High Harmonic Generation

Ferré, Amelie 03 October 2014 (has links)
Grâce à ses propriétés (cohérence, brillance, durée), le rayonnement XUV femtoseconde produit par génération d'harmoniques d'ordre élevé est utilisé comme un processus de sonde pour l'étude de dynamiques atomiques et moléculaires, avec une bonne résolution spatiale et temporelle (femtoseconde voire attoseconde). Ainsi, des dynamiques rotationnelles ont été résolues sur des petits systèmes moléculaires (N2, CO2). Les travaux de cette thèse ont consisté à étendre les méthodes de spectroscopie harmoniques et les appliquer à des systèmes moléculaires complexes d'intérêt femtochimique. Parmi elles, nous présenterons la génération d'harmoniques à deux sources, le réseau transitoire d'excitation ou encore la génération d'harmoniques à deux couleurs. Ces techniques nous ont permis de résoudre des dynamiques femtosecondes dans N2O4 et SF6. La HHG est aussi utilisée comme source de rayonnement XUV, en jouant le rôle d'impulsion pompe lors d'expériences de type pompe-sonde. Cette approche a été utilisée pour l'étude du dichroïsme circulaire de photoélectrons de molécules chirales ionisées par un champ XUV harmonique de polarisation quasi circulaire. Nous nous attarderons à détailler la découverte de cette nouvelle source XUV femtoseconde de polarisation quasi circulaire. / High harmonic generation (HHG) spectroscopy has proven to be a promisingtool (like probe in pump-probe experiments) in revealing the atomic and molecular dynamicswith the potential for subangstrom spatial resolution and subfemtosecond temporalresolution. Then, rotational dynamics have been resolved on small molecular systems (N2,CO2). This thesis looks to extending HHG spectroscopy methods to probe the structureand the dynamic of complex molecular systems. We will describe the two sources highharmonic generation, the transient grating of excitation and the two-color high harmonicgeneration. We enable to resolve the femtosecond nuclear dynamics in N2O4 and SF6. HHGis also used like a XUV radiation source, playing the role of pump pulse. This approach hasbeen used for the study of photoelectron circular dichroism. An XUV harmonic field witha quasi-circular polarization ionizes chiral molecules. In this manuscript, we will developthis new femtosecond XUV and quasi circular polarization radiation.

Constructing and Commissioning HELIOS – A High Harmonic Generation Source for Pump-Probe Measurements with sub 50 fs Temporal Resolution : The Development of Experimental Equipment for Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

Terschlüsen, Joachim A. January 2016 (has links)
This thesis presents HELIOS, an in-house laboratory for time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy with extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) probe radiation. A wide span of pump wavelengths can be generated using commercial laser equipment while XUV probe radiation is generated via a high harmonic generation process in a noble gas delivering probe photons with energies between 20 eV and 72 eV. The XUV beam path features a time-preserving monochromator and was constructed and built in-house. HELIOS features an overall time resolution of about 50 fs when using 800 nm pump and 41 eV probe photons. An energy resolution of 110 meV at 41 eV photon energy can be achieved. HELIOS features two beamlines. One µ-focus beamline with an XUV focal size of about 20 µm can be used with experiments that require such a small XUV focal size as well as with different end stations. The other beamline features a semi-permanently mounted end station for angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Experiments demonstrating the usability of HELIOS and the two beamlines are presented. A pump-probe measurement on graphene demonstrates the capability of determining a large part of the k-space in only one measurement due to the use of an ARTOF angle-resolved time-of-flight electron spectrometer. A non-angle-resolved pump-probe measurement on the conducting polymer PCPDTBT demonstrates the high signal-to-noise ratio achievable at this beamline in non-angle-resolved photoelectron-spectroscopy pump-probe measurements. The usability of the µ-focus beamline is demonstrated with time-resolved measurements on magnetic samples employing an in-house-designed spectrometer. These experiments allow the retrieval of element-specific information on the magnetization within a sample employing the transversal magneto-optical Kerr effect (T-MOKE). Additionally, a Fourier transform spectrometer for the XUV is presented, the concept was tested at a synchrotron and it was used to determine the longitudinal coherence of the XUV radiation at HELIOS.
