Multilayer(ML)-coated XUV mirrors in combination with ultrathin metal transmission filters are known to be very suitable for spectral filtering and guiding of single attosecond (asec) XUV pulses from the near-cutoff region of High Harmonic Generation (HHG) sources in rare gases. We report on the design of periodic and aperiodic, broadband (15 - 30 eV) Mo/Si ML centered at ≈ 85 eV, theoretically developed by a needle algorithm code (optilayer) for optimum pulse response. Recent results published have demonstrated the filtering of single 170 asec pulses, recorded in XUV pump/IR probe streaking experiments, using an additional 150 nm Zr filter.[1] Even shorter pulse durations towards the (sub) 100 asec range are expected. The ML stacks have been fabricated by advanced Dual Ion Beam Deposition (DIBD) controlled by in-situ ellipsometry and ex-situ characterized by synchrotron radiation measurements at the Advanced Light Source. Finally, the extension of asec ML mirror technology towards higher photon energies exceeding 100 eV using different materials (La and B4C) will be discussed, which could enable new photoemission experiments on solid surfaces with sub 100 asec time resolution.
