An easy technique for focus characterization and optimization of XUV and soft x-ray pulses

For many applications of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and x-ray pulses a small focus size is crucial to reach the required intensity or spatial resolution. In this article, we present a simple way to characterize an XUV focus with a resolution of 1.85 micrometer. Furthermore, this technique is applied for the measurement and optimization of the focus of an ellipsoidal mirror for photon energies ranging from 18 to 150 eV generated by high-order harmonics. We envisage a broad range of applications of this approach with sub-micrometer resolution from high-harmonic sources via synchrotrons to free-electron lasers.
