Nonhomogeneous multicolor laser beams optimization to obtain a stronger intensity single harmonic radiation path

Abstract

Abstract How to obtain the high signal intensity harmonic spectra with the single harmonic radiation path contribution becomes an important issue in the investigations of the high-order harmonic generation and attosecond science. In this paper, through the nonhomogeneous multicolor laser beams optimization, the best time-spatial laser waveforms, including the positive and negative time-spatial waveforms, to produce the harmonic spectra can be found. As a result, the harmonic plateaus with the single harmonic radiation path contribution and with the enhancement of several orders of magnitudes can be obtained, which can support the generation of the isolated pulses with the durations of 29 as. The physical mechanism behind the improvement of the harmonic spectra is given by the time-spatial profile analyses of the laser pulses and the harmonic spectra.
