چکیده
We report on efficient generation of millijoule-level, kilohertz-repetition-rate few-cycle laser pulses with radial polarization by combining a gas-filled hollow-waveguide compression technique with a suitable polarization mode converter. Peak power levels >85 GW are routinely achieved, capable of reaching relativistic intensities >10(19) W/cm2 with carrier-envelope-phase control, by employing readily accessible ultrafast high-energy laser technology.

Intense circularly polarized attosecond pulse generation from relativistic laser plasmas using few-cycle laser pulses.
We have investigated the polarization of attosecond light pulses generated from relativistic few-cycle laser pulse interaction with the surface of overdense plasmas using particle-in-cell simulation. Under suitable conditions, a desired polarization state of the generated attosecond pulse can be achieved by controlling the polarization of the incident laser. In particular, an elliptically polar...
متن کاملInvestigation of the XUV Emission from the Interaction of Intense Femtosecond Laser Pulses with Solid Targets
The generation of coherent high-order harmonics from the interaction of ultra-intense femtosecond laser pulses with solid density plasmas holds the promise for table-top sources of intense extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft x-ray (SXR) radiation. Furthermore, they give rise to the prospect of combining the attosecond pulse duration of conventional gas-harmonic sources with the photon ux current...

Interaction of intense ultrashort (few-cycle) laser pulses with atoms and molecules leads to a highly nonlinear nonperturbative regime of electron dynamics and response. Ionized electrons are shown to be controlled by such pulses and the response is described by simple classical models of under and above barrier ionization followed by recollision with the parent ion or collision with neighborin...
متن کاملTime-resolved reaction imaging by intense few- cycle laser pulses and laser high-order harmonics
We discuss two novel approaches to visualize ultrafast dynamics of polyatomic molecules using few-cycle intense laser pulses and the high-order harmonics in the soft X-ray region, respectively. First, we present the real-time Coulomb explosion imaging of ultrafast isomerization of C2D2 by using intense fewcycle laser pulses (<10 fs, ~1 PW/cm, ~800 nm) to show that the hydrogen migration proceed...
متن کاملAttosecond x-ray pulses produced by ultra short transverse slicing via laser electron beam interaction
We propose a method of generation of ∼115 attosecond x-ray pulses in a free electron laser (FEL) by means of producing ultra-fast angular modulation of the electron trajectories prior to entering the FEL. For this modulation, we employ a few-cycle laser pulse in a higher-order Gaussian mode and with carrier-envelope phase stabilization.
