Abstract

The polarization of high-harmonics from aligned N2 molecules was measured by observing the visibility of spatial interference between two high-harmonics generated separately. The minimum visibility was observed at an angle of 60° between the polarization of the harmonic generation laser field and the molecular orientation. In this case, the angular shift of harmonic polarization is 15° from the molecular orientation. Our measurement of the visibility variation matches the theoretical prediction based on the harmonic field calculation for aligned N2 molecules.
