Coherent control of terahertz harmonic generation by a chirped few-cycle pulse in a quantum well
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results on the occurrence of ultrashort terahertz harmonic generation (THG) driven by a millimeter nonlinear chirped few-cycle laser pulse in a symmetric double quantum well. By solving the effective nonlinear Bloch equations, THG with a generic plateau and cutoff can be produced. The time–frequency characteristic of the ultrashort terahertz harmonic spectrum is analyzed in detail by means of the wavelet transform of induced dipole acceleration. Furthermore, an ultrabroad supercontinuum terahertz harmonic spectrum can be generated and an isolated ultrashort terahertz pulse can be obtained at the cutoff region by choosing the appropriate chirping rate parameters.

Numerical Simulation of an Intense Isolated Attosecond Pulse by a Chirped Two-Color Laser Field
We investigate theoretically the high-order harmonic spectrum extension and numerical generation of an intense isolated attosecond pulse from He+ ion irradiated by a two-color laser field. Our simulation results show that the chirp of the fundamental field can control HHG cutoff position. Also, these results show that the envelope forms of two fields are important factors for controlling the re...
متن کاملEngineerable femtosecond pulse shaping by second-harmonic generation with Fourier synthetic quasi-phase-matching gratings.
We describe a pulse-shaping technique that uses second-harmonic generation with Fourier synthetic quasi-phase-matching gratings. We demonstrate both amplitude and phase tailoring by generating a picosecond squarelike pulse as well as trains of femtosecond pulses with a terahertz-range repetition rate from either a compressed or a chirped pump pulse.

High-order harmonic generation in the presence of a chirped THz pulse is investigated numerically with a complete 3D nonadiabatic model. The assisting THz pulse illuminates the high-order harmonic generation gas cell laterally inducing quasi-phase-matching. We demonstrate that it is possible to compensate the phase mismatch during propagation and extend the macroscopic cutoff of a propagated st...

We present a theoretical investigation of high-order harmonic generation in a chirped two-colour laser field, which is synthesized by an 800 nm fundamental chirped pulse and a 1200 nm subharmonic chirped pulse. With the introduction of a polarization angle, both the harmonic cutoff is significantly extended and the spectrum intensity is effectively enhanced compared with the orthogonally polari...
