Interplay between group-delay-dispersion-induced polarization gating and ionization to generate isolated attosecond pulses from multicycle lasers.

چکیده
We implemented a new experimental scheme for the generation of single-shot extreme-UV continua that exploits a combination of transform-limited 15 fs, 800 nm pulses and chirped 35 fs, 800 nm pulses with orthogonal polarizations. Continua are interpreted as the formation of a single attosecond pulse and attributed to the interplay between polarization, ionization gating, and trajectory selection operated by suitable phase-matching conditions.

Single isolated attosecond pulse from multicycle lasers.
We propose a new experimental scheme to produce clean isolated pulses lasting a few hundreds of attoseconds. It is based on high harmonics generation and uses the polarization gating technique combined with the ionization dynamics and the spatial filtering provided by the three-dimensional field propagation. The proposed method is easy to implement, robust against laser parameter fluctuations, ...
متن کاملGeneration of isolated attosecond pulses with 20 to 28 femtosecond lasers.
Isolated attosecond pulses are powerful tools for exploring electron dynamics in matter. So far, such extreme ultraviolet pulses have only been generated using high power, few-cycle lasers, which are very difficult to construct and operate. We propose and demonstrate a technique called generalized double optical gating for generating isolated attosecond pulses with 20 fs lasers from a hollow-co...
متن کاملAttosecond chirp compensation over broadband high-order harmonics to generate near transform- limited 63 as pulses
By generating broadband high-harmonic pulses from neon and compensating for attosecond chirp by the material dispersion of argon, the generation of near transform-limited 63 as pulses was achieved. The spectral phase analysis showed that, without proper compensation, the attosecond chirp of the broadband harmonics caused splitting of attosecond high-harmonic pulses in addition to pulse broadeni...
متن کاملOptimal generation of spatially coherent soft X-ray isolated attosecond pulses in a gas-filled waveguide using two-color synthesized laser pulses
We numerically demonstrate the generation of intense, low-divergence soft X-ray isolated attosecond pulses in a gas-filled hollow waveguide using synthesized few-cycle two-color laser waveforms. The waveform is a superposition of a fundamental and its second harmonic optimized such that highest harmonic yields are emitted from each atom. We then optimize the gas pressure and the length and radi...
متن کاملCoherent control of electron wave packets in dissociating H + 2
Coherent control of electron localization in the dissociation of a hydrogen molecular ion exposed to an attosecond pulse train and a time-delayed near-infrared laser pulse are studied by solving numerically the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The attosecond pulses in the train generate a train of electron wave packets in the dissociating molecular ion, which are steered by the near-infrare...
