Abstract
En 中文
Ultrafast lasers, providing the shortest pulses worldwide, have been playing a vital role in the ultrafast imaging technology. The temporal resolution has been increasing rapidly in recent years but finally reaches its limit-the pulse width approaches photoperiods, causing significant broadening of spectral bandwidth. The state-of-the-art high harmonics generation based attosecond lasers, with pulse widths reaching similar to 50 attoseconds, present octave-spanning spectra. This brings a major challenge to traditional imaging methods, as they result in unbearable chromatic aberrations. To address this challenge, we propose the neural-network approach for broadband imaging and demonstrate its effectiveness empirically by facilitating rapid coherent diffractive imaging under octave-spanning supercontinuum illumination. The proposed method remains effective when deployed with three-octave-spanning spectra, supporting both continuous and comb-like profiles as indicated by simulations. Such lensless imaging method, applicable to both extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray sources, potentially provides an approach to attosecond imaging.
