Controls for the generations of high-order harmonics and attosecond pulses by infrared laser field combined with a low-frequency pulse

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/8/080202

Abstract We investigate high-order harmonic generations by controlling various quantum paths of harmonics in an infrared laser field which combines a low-frequency pulse. Both classical theory and quantum wavelet transform method are used to understand the physics of harmonics. By adjusting the carrier envelope phase of the fundamental field, the intensities of harmonic spectra increase and the harmonics in the plateau become regular. Attosecond pulses each with a duration of 58 as are obtained directly by compressing the harmonics, and with phase compensation an isolated attosecond pulse less than 30 as can be generated.

Keywords: high-order harmonics isolated attosecond pulse LZH-DICP code
