Abstract

A simple dichroic beam splitter capable of separating extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) radiation from high-powered visible and UV laser beams is demonstrated. The device has high XUV reflection efficiency (R ≈ 44%) and high damage resistance to intense laser radiation and is therefore applicable to laser-generated XUV radiation sources, including harmonic generation, sum-frequency mixing, and anti-stokes Raman scattering.
