A wavelengthswept light source using a fiber ring resonator and a wavelength-tunable filter was operated at a repetition rate of 100 Hz with a center wavelength of 1330 nm, a spectral bandwidth of 80 nm, and an output power of 90 mW. The wide scan lens, designed in three lenses, could generate a line-field beam less than 100 mm wide and 200 mm long. The LF-OCT system implemented in a Michelson interferometer with a wavelength-swept light source and a wide-scan lens fabricated to half its dimension presented an axial resolution of 20 mm and a depth range of 2.84 mm at 3 dB. We could confirm 3 mm imaging depth through gauge block imaging and obtain 100-mm-wide tomographic images of a metal ruler without scanning. By optimizing the implemented LF-OCT, we will be able to demonstrate its utility as an inspection device for real-time, full-scale inspections required in industrial fields.

(b) Experimental configuration of high-harmonic-generation measurement. Keywords: High energy photon sources, High harmonic generation, Solid state physics, Strong-field, light-matter interaction, van der Waals 2D materials OCIS codes: (040.7480) X-rays, soft X-rays, extreme ultraviolet (EUV); (140.0140) Lasers and laser optics; (160.4330) Nonlinear optical materials; (190.0190) Nonlinear optics; (320.0320) Ultrafast optics Abstract High-harmonic generation (HHG) in gases has long enabled tabletop access to coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft X-ray radiation. More recently HHG has been extended to the solid-state realm, offering potential advantages such as higher conversion efficiency, tunability via band-structure engineering, and integration with photonic devices. Among emerging solid-state platforms, van der Waals (vdW) two-dimensional (2D) materials—e.g., graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and black phosphorus—exhibit pronounced quantum confinement, strong excitonic effects, and valleyselective dynamics. These properties yield unique HHG signatures, including polarization dependence, extended harmonic orders, and topological effects. This review summarizes fundamental mechanisms of HHG in vdW 2D materials, key experimental breakthroughs, and state-of-the-art theoretical approaches. We discuss exciton-driven enhancements, Berry-curvature-induced polarization, and device-integration challenges. We also highlight prospective directions, such as advanced ultrafast spectroscopy and applications in attosecond science, underscoring the rich opportunities and persistent challenges in harnessing strong-field light-matter interactions in 2D quantum materials.
