High-order harmonic generation from solid targets with 2 mJ pulses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Harmonics up to the 18th order are generated from solid targets by focusing 2mJ, 50fs pulses at 800nm to a spot size of 1.7μm (FWHM). To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of high-harmonic generation with a very short focal length paraboloid (f/1.4) and kilohertz laser system. The harmonics have a low divergence (<4°) compared to the driving beam and conversion efficiencies (>107 per harmonic) comparable to gas harmonics. No contrast enhancement techniques are employed, and the system is capable of operating at 500Hz.
