Optimization of attosecond pulse generation.
The generation of attosecond pulses by superposition of high harmonics relies on their synchronization in the emission. Our experiments in the low-order, plateau, and cutoff regions of the spectrum reveal different regimes in the electron dynamics determining the synchronization quality. The shortest pulses are obtained by combining a spectral filtering of harmonics from the end of the plateau ...
متن کاملThe effect of dynamic electron correlation in attosecond pulse generation
Introduction The development of sources of coherent ultrashort (attosecond timescale) extreme-ultraviolet light is a topic of great interest at present. The aim is to provide a tool that can illuminate, initiate and control ultrafast electronic transitions. While many technical challenges remain in designing an operational facility for such a source, several important fundamental technology bre...
متن کاملAttosecond pulse walk-off in high-order harmonic generation.
We study the influence of the generation conditions on the group delay of attosecond pulses in high-order harmonic generation in gases. The group delay relative to the fundamental field is found to decrease with increasing gas pressure in the generation cell, reflecting a temporal walk-off due to the dispersive properties of the nonlinear medium. This effect is well reproduced using an on-axis ...
متن کاملGating attosecond pulse train generation using multicolor laser fields
The process of high-order harmonic generation leads to the production of a train of attosecond-duration extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses, with one pulse emitted per optical half-cycle. For attosecond pump-probe experiments, a single, isolated attosecond pulse is preferable, requiring an almost continuous spectrum. We show experimentally and numerically that the addition of a second laser field,...
متن کاملIntegrating solids and gases for attosecond pulse generation
Control of the field of few-cycle optical pulses has had an enormous impact on attosecond science. Subcycle pulses open the potential for non-adiabatic phase matching while concentrating the electric field so it can be used most efficiently. However, subcycle field transients have been difficult to generate. We exploit the perturbative response of a sub-100 μm thick monocrystalline quartz plate...
