Temporal coherence effects on coherent diffractive imaging of a binary sample by a high harmonic source

Abstract

Coherent Diffractive Imaging (CDI) is performed with single and multiple harmonics from an ultrafast HHG source. The effect of HHG source bandwidth on the effectiveness of the reconstruction algorithms is compared. A low quality reconstruction from broadband data is achieved assuming full coherence in the algorithm. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2013.
