Contents:

Radiation and scattering at EUV and x-ray wavelengths -- Wave propagation and refractive index at x-ray and EUV wavelengths -- Coherence at short wavelengths -- Synchrotron radiation -- X-ray and EUV free electron lasers -- Laser high harmonic generation -- Physics of hot dense plasmas -- Extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray lasers -- X-ray and extreme ultraviolet optics -- X-ray and EUV imaging.

Summary: With this fully updated second edition, readers will gain a detailed understanding of the physics and applications of modern X-ray and EUV radiation sources. Taking into account the most recent improvements in capabilities, coverage is expanded to include new chapters on free electron lasers (FELs), laser high harmonic generation (HHG), X-ray and EUV optics, and nanoscale imaging; a completely revised chapter on spatial and temporal coherence; and extensive discussion of the generation and applications of femtosecond and attosecond techniques. Readers will be guided step by step through the mathematics of each topic, with over 300 figures, 50 reference tables and 600 equations enabling easy understanding of key concepts. Homework problems, a solutions manual for instructors, and links to YouTube lectures accompany the book online. This is the 'go-to' guide for graduate students, researchers and industry practitioners interested in X-ray and EUV interaction with matter.
