Ătude de la gĂ©nĂ©ration d'harmoniques anormales d'ordre Ă©levĂ© Ă basse intensitĂ©
Nous présentons des résultats expérimentaux de spectre
d'harmoniques anormales d'ordre élevé générées à basse
intensité laser (2 10 Wcm) dans l'argon. Ce spectre
ne peut pas ĂȘtre expliquĂ© par le modĂšle classique Ă trois
étapes qui prédit les caractéristique du spectre . Les
ordres observés dans notre mesure vont bien au delà de la
limite de la coupure donnée par l'intensité du laser dans le
milieu gazeux. De plus, nous n'observons pas les ordres trĂšs
bas. Nous présentons une étude systématique de ces spectres,
ainsi que des simulations numériques issues de la résolution
de l'équation de Schrödinger dépendante du temps
Optimization of the focused flux of high harmonics
Following the theoretical predictions [1], the observation of
two-photon processes by interaction of
vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation with inner-shell levels of atoms
requires focused intensities in the
 W/cm2 range. Our aim is to reach this regime in
order to study non-linear optics at these
wavelengths. We first optimized the high harmonic conversion efficiency in
argon by studying the best experimental conditions
for phase-matching, concentrating on focus geometry related to laser
energy, cell length and position relative to the focus.
We then studied the resulting harmonic beam focusability by a toroidal
mirror (f=10Â cm) and made an image of the harmonic focus.
We conclude with an evaluation of the focused intensity that we are able to
reach experimentally
SIRIUS is a state-of-the-art detector system for nuclear decay spectroscopy that will be mounted at the focalplane of S3 (Super Separator Spectrometer), which is part of the new SPIRAL2 facility at GANIL, Caen in France. Such a systemrequires high performance as it is dedicated to the study of very exotic nuclei. It is the result of collaboration between GANILCSNSM, IRFU, and IPHC It is composed of a succession of detectors (Trackers, Silicon detector DSSD and Tunnel plus anarray of five clover Germanium detectors). This set-up is mounted in a compact geometry. The energy measurement variesfrom 50 keV to over 500 MeV with high precision (2 x 10-3) at low energies and 1 % for the detection of heavy ions. A majorchallenge has been the development of new electronics with a very large dynamic range maintaining an adequate energyresolution for the measured particles (with energies from a few hundred keV up to 500 MeV).
