Thin film compression to the single-cycle regime combined with relativistic compression offers a method to transform conventional ultrafast laser pulses into attosecond X-ray laser pulses. These attosecond X-ray laser pulses are required to drive wakefields in solid density materials which can provide acceleration gradients of up to TeV/cm. Here we demonstrate a nearly 99% energy efficient compression of a 6.63 mJ, 39 fs laser pulse with a Gaussian mode to 20 fs in a single stage. Further, it is shown that as a result of Kerr-lensing, the focal spot of the system is slightly shifted on-axis and can be recovered by translating the imaging system to the new focal plane. This implies that with the help of wave-front shaping optics the focusability of laser pulses compressed in this way can be partially preserved.

Recent results on constructing of an efficient hard X-ray source using solid targets irradiated by high-contrast 200-fs laser pulses with an intensity above 1016W/cm2are presented. We used different solid targets with a laser- and electrochemically modified surface layer: craters, pyramidal cavities, porous silicon, gratings. Experimental data obtained confirms that using solid targets with a corrugated surface one can achieve a prominent increase both in the efficiency of hard X-ray generation (in the quanta range 2–30 keV) and in the hot electron temperature of plasma.

We put forward a co-axial pump(optical)-probe(X-rays) experimental concept and show performance of the optical component. A Bessel beam generator with a central 100 micrometers-diameter hole (on the optical axis) was fabricated using femtosecond (fs) laser structuring inside a silica plate. This flat-axicon optical element produces a needle-like axial intensity distribution which can be used for the optical pump pulse. The fs-X-ray free electron laser (X-FEL) beam of sub-1 micrometer diameter can be introduced through the central hole along the optical axis onto a target as a probe. Different realisations of optical pump are discussed. Such optical elements facilitate alignment of ultra-short fs-pulses in space and time and can be used in light-matter interaction experiments at extreme energy densities on the surface and in the volume of targets. Full advantage of ultra-short 10 fs X-FEL probe pulses with fs-pump(optical) opens an unexplored temporal dimension of phase transitions and the fastest laser-induced rates of material heating and quenching. A wider field of applications of fs-laser-enabled structuring of materials and design of specific optical elements for astrophotonics is presented.
