Abstract

A source of isolated attosecond pulses with photon energies lying in the water window soft x-ray range is currently under development at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron. Such a source will be driven by the newly developed sub-cycle millijoule-level parametric waveform synthesizer. In this proceeding on theoretical study, in order to optimize the x-ray pulse energy while maintaining good pulse isolation in the soft x-ray range, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is exploited to tailor the laser electric field waveform. The resulting synthesized waveform are then employed in a macroscopic propagation study to predict x-ray pulse characteristics from a real experiment.
