A Kansas State University physicist's proposal may lead to a
new way of creating tabletop light sources in the laboratory.
Cheng Jin, research associate in physics; Chii-Dong Lin,
university distinguished professor of physics; and collaborators are developing
a way to greatly enhance the generation of high-order harmonics to create powerful
small tabletop light sources that are important to science and technology.
The researchers are building theoretical framework and
providing experimental guidance in the area of strong-field physics. The work
is associated with the physics department's James R. Macdonald Laboratory.
