Macroscopic manipulation of high-order-harmonic generation through bound-state coherent control.

چکیده
We propose a paradigm for macroscopic control of high-order harmonic generation by modulating the bound-state population of the medium atoms. A unique result of this scheme is that apart from regular spatial quasi-phase-matching (QPM), also purely temporal QPM of the emitted radiation can be established. Our simulations demonstrate temporal QPM by inducing homogenous Rabi oscillations in the medium and also spatial QPM by creating a grating of population inversion using the process of rapid adiabatic passage. In the simulations a scaled version of high-order harmonic generation is used: a far off-resonance 2.6 μm source generates UV-visible high-order harmonics from alkali-metal-atom vapor, while a resonant near IR source is used to coherently control the medium.

Effects of macroscopic propagation on spectra of broadband supercontinuum harmonics and isolated-attosecond-pulse generation: Coherent control of the electron quantum trajectories in two-color laser fields
Recently it was shown that broadband supercontinuum harmonics can be produced from the long-trajectory electrons in the single-atom response by the coherent control of the electron trajectories through optimized two-color laser fields. Such supercontinuum harmonics can be superposed to generate an isolated sub-30attosecond (as) pulse [Liu et al., Phys. Rev. A 84, 033414 (2011)]. In this paper, ...
متن کاملHigh harmonic generation via continuum wave-packet interference.
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is investigated theoretically in the over-the-barrier ionization regime revealing the strong signature of interference between two separately ionized and separately propagating free wave packets of a single electron. The interference leads to the emission of coherent light at a photon energy corresponding to the kinetic-energy difference of the two recollidi...
متن کاملCoherent control of high-harmonic generation using waveform-synthesized chirped laser fields
We show that waveform-synthesized chirped laser fields are efficient tools for coherent harmonic control. A single harmonic order, or two harmonic orders, can be selectively enhanced by using a two-color field allowing a moderate linear chirp for each color. Different harmonic orders within a wide spectral range can be selectively enhanced by adjusting the laser parameters. Our theory bridges t...
