This laser source proves to be an ideal tool for HHG from atoms and molecules. The HHG spectra obtained through interaction of the laser source with xenon atoms provide information on electronic correlations by highlighting the giant resonance of xenon. In addition, results obtained at ALLS show that the laser source is ideal for developing a soft X-ray beamline delivering ultrafast x-ray laser pulses down to the nanometer wavelength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dev.inrs.ca\/english\/francois-legare\"><\/a>Built on national scientific collaboration, this study was conducted at ALLS by researchers Bruno E.
