UltraFast Innovations (UFI) Aurora XUV Phase Retarders

UltraFast Innovations (UFI) Aurora XUV Phase Retarders are designed to act as a quarter waveplate to turn linearly polarized XUV light into circularly polarized light without introducing additional dispersion. These phase retarders achieve close to-circular polarization of PC = 0.75 and feature a > 25% transmission around 66 eV photon energy, at the Ni M2/M3 edge. Broad bandwidth options of 40 – 85eV (15 - 31nm) or 10 – 35eV (31 - 124nm) are available and a clear aperture of 3mm will allow the low divergent XUV light to pass through without clipping. UltraFast Innovations (UFI) Aurora XUV Phase Retarders use a transmission optimized, four mirror-grazing incidence reflection geometry that induces a quarter wave phase offset between the s- and p-polarization components of a linearly polarized input XUV beam. These retarders are ideal for XUV ultrafast high-harmonic, laser-based pump probe, and attosecond applications.
