Abstract

We report on interferometry using a two-zone-plate common-path interferometer operating at a wavelength of 13 nm. The interferometer was set up with a laser-driven high-harmonic source emitting radiation with the high degree of spatial and temporal coherence necessary for interferometry. The interferometer is suited for investigations of the coherence properties of the light source employed, as well as for simultaneous measurements of the real and imaginary part of the complex index of refraction in the 100 eV regime. This is demonstrated in a proof of principle experiment with a piece of Zr-foil as the phase-shifting and absorbing sample.
