Description

We have constructed an instrument for observing the second harmonic generation (SHG) in the soft x-ray region. The two beams are focused on the GaAs thin film, and the scattered beam corresponding to the SHG signal is detected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT). For detecting the small signal of the SHG, we have developed a novel modulation technique with a piezo actuator and a digital lock-in amplifier. The result of the experiment is almost consistent with the assumption that the SHG has been detected in our experiment
