Time dependent Doppler shifts in high-order harmonic generation in intense laser interactions with solid density plasma and frequency chirped pulses

Journal Article Welch, E. C. ; Zhang, P. ; He, Z. -H. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

High order harmonic generation from solid targets is a compelling route to generating intense attosecond or even zeptosecond pulses. However, the effects of ion motion on the generation of harmonics have only recently started to be considered. Here, we study the effects of ion motion in harmonics production at ultrahigh laser intensities interacting with solid density plasma. Using particle-in-cell simulations, we find that there is an optimum density for harmonic production that depends on laser intensity, which scales linearly with a{sub 0} with no ion motion but with a reduced scaling if ion motion is included. We derive a scalingmore »« less

High Harmonic Radiation Generation and Attosecond pulse generation from Intense Laser-Solid Interactions

Technical Report Thomas, Alexander Roy ; Krushelnick, Karl

We have studied ion motion effects in high harmonic generation, including shifts to the harmonics which result in degradation of the attosecond pulse train, and how to mitigate them. We have examined the scaling with intensity of harmonic emission. We have also switched the geometry of the interaction to measure, for the first time, harmonics from a normal incidence interaction. This was performed by using a special parabolic reflector with an on axis hole and is to allow measurements of the attosecond pulses using standard techniques. Here is a summary of the findings: First high harmonic generation in laser-solid interactionsmore »« less

High-order harmonic generation by chirped and self-guided femtosecond laser pulses. II. Time-frequency analysis

Journal Article Tosa, V ; National Institute for R and D of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies, Cluj-Napoca ; Kim, H T ; ... - Physical Review. A

We present a time-dependent analysis of high-order harmonics generated by a self-guided femtosecond laser pulse propagating through a long gas jet. A three-dimensional model is used to calculate the harmonic fields generated by laser pulses, which only differ by the sign of their initial chirp. The time-frequency distributions of the single-atom dipole and harmonic field reveal the dynamics of harmonic generation in the cutoff. A time-dependent phase-matching calculation was performed, taking into account the self-phase modulation of the laser field. Good phase matching holds for only few optical cycles, being dependent on the electron trajectory. When the cutoff trajectory ismore »« less

Very-high-order harmonic generation from Ar atoms and Ar{sup +} ions in superintense pulsed laser fields: An ab initio self-interaction-free time-dependent density-functional approach

Journal Article Carrera, Juan J ; Chu, S -I ; Tong, X M - Physical Review. A

We present an ab initio nonpertubative investigation of the mechanisms responsible for the production of very-high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from Ar atoms and Ar{sup +} ions by means of the self-interaction-free time-dependent density-functional theory recently developed. Further, by introducing an effective charge concept, we can study at which laser intensity the contribution to the high-energy HHG from Ar{sup +} ions precede over the Ar atoms. Comparing the HHG behavior from Ar atoms and Ar{sup +} ions in the superintense laser field, we conclude that the high-energy HHG observed in the recent experiment originated from the ionized Ar atoms.
