Polarization Control of High Harmonics for Ultrafast Magnetic Imaging — •Christina Nolte1, Sergey Zayko2, Ofer Kfir2,3, Sascha Schäfer2, Daniel Steil1, Birgit Hebler4, Manfred Albrecht4, Oren Cohen3, Stefan Mathias1, and Claus Ropers211st Physical Institute, University of Göttingen — 24th Physical Institute, University of Göttingen — 3Physics Department, Technion, Israel — 4Institute of of Physics, University of Augsburg

The generation of circularly polarized extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray radiation from high-harmonic light sources [1,2] in combination with lensless imaging techniques opens a new and powerful route for the spatially resolved study of ultrafast magnetization dynamics [3].

We utilize a stable and compact method of generating bright circularly polarized high harmonics [4] and extend the approach to tailor the radiation ellipticity by a precise control of recollision trajectories. We characterize the XUV polarization in two spectral regions (25-30 eV and 50-60 eV) using two methods: (i) polarization selective nanoscale waveguides [5] and (ii) magneto-optical activity in Co [1]. In addition, we present diffraction data and discuss current progress towards the imaging of magnetic structures.
