چکیده

A method is proposed for arbitrarily engineering the high-order harmonic generation phase achieved by shaping a laser pulse and employing xuv light or x rays for ionization. This renders the production of bandwidth-limited attosecond pulses possible while avoiding the use of filters for chirp compensation. By adding the first 8 Fourier components to a sinusoidal field of 1016 W/cm2, the bandwidth-limited emission of 8 as is shown to be possible from a Li2+ gas. The scheme is extendable to the zs-scale.

Time Frequency Analysis of Higher Harmonic Generation in a Three Color Laser Pulse

high harmonic generation is a useful tool for the generation of short, intense attosecond pulses. In order to simulate high harmonic generation, we performed a numerical solution to the time dependent Schrödinger equation. by considering dipole approximation, we predicted generation of a 53 attosecond pulse. In order to see the time and frequency of emission of attosecond pulse, we exploit...

Attosecond synchronization of high-order harmonics from midinfrared drivers.

The group delay dispersion, also known as the attochirp, of high-order harmonics generated in gases has been identified as the main intrinsic limitation to the duration of Fourier-synthesized attosecond pulses. Theory implies that the attochirp, which is inversely proportional to the laser wavelength, can be decreased at longer wavelength. Here we report the first measurement of the wavelength ...

Scaling of wave-packet dynamics in an intense midinfrared field.

A theoretical investigation is presented that examines the wavelength scaling from near-visible (0.8 micro m) to midinfrared (2 micro m) of the photoelectron distribution and high harmonics generated by a "single" atom in an intense electromagnetic field. The calculations use a numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) in argon and the strong-field approximation in he...

A Source of Coherent Soft X-ray Radiation Based on High-order Harmonic Generation and Free Electron Lasers∗

We examine a scheme for a Free Electron Laser (FEL) harmonic amplifier seeded by a 30-nm wavelength signal produced using a process of High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG). The seed is first amplified in an optical klystron from 100 kW to 30 MW using a 1 GeV electron beam and then is used for an energy modulation of electrons in the downstream undulator. Subsequently, a 100MW level of radiation...

Considerably Enhanced Second-Harmonic Generation in Resonant U-Shaped Nano-Structures

In this paper, we perform a detailed study of the spectral response of the gold U-shaped nano-structures for different geometrical parameters and polarizations in order to obtain significant localization factor in the wavelength 1.55 μm. The obtained near-field distribution of electric fields reveals that resonances in these nano-structures correspond to the even and odd plasmonic modes dependi...
