Optimization of third harmonic generation for two coupled three-frequency interactions of waves with multiple frequencies in periodic crystals

Third harmonic generation with simultaneous excitation of degenerate two-frequency (2ω = ω + ω) and three-frequency (3ω = 2ω + ω) interactions of collinear waves in periodic crystals is considered. It is shown that the optimal condition for third harmonic generation, in this case, is determined by the ratio of the amplitudes of the fundamental and second harmonics at the entrance of the crystal. The optimal value of this ratio, for which the efficiency of the third harmonic generation may reach 96%, is found.

Harmonic emission spectra and attosecond pulse generation from helium atom driven by the mid-infrared nonhomogeneous field

The generations of the high-order harmonics and the attosecond pulses from helium atom driven by the mid-infrared symmetric and asymmetric nonhomogeneous field have been theoretically investigated. It is found that (i) due to the surface plasmon polaritons in the metallic nanostructure, the extensions of the harmonics from the positive and the negative laser amplitudes, or only from the positive laser amplitude can be found for the cases of symmetric and asymmetric nonhomogeneous fields, respectively. (ii) The wavelength scalings of the harmonic cutoff and the harmonic yield show that the harmonic cutoff and the harmonic yield can be extended and decreased with the increase in laser wavelength, respectively. However, due to the limit of the gap size of the nanostructure, the threshold value of the harmonic cutoff can be achieved for a given gap size of the nanostructure. (iii) By adding a weak terahertz field to the mid-infrared fundamental field with the asymmetric nonhomogeneous effect, the intensity of the harmonic plateau can be enhanced by one order of magnitude, showing a 1280?eV supercontinuum with the single quantum trajectory contribution. Finally, by properly superposing the harmonics, some attosecond X-ray pulses shorter than 35 as can be produced.     

Decoding the electron dynamics in high-order harmonic generation from asymmetric molecular ions in elliptically polarized laser fields

The high-order harmonic generation from an asymmetric molecular ion is theoretically investigated based on the Born-Oppenheimer model with two-dimensional electron dynamics. It is shown that the harmonic intensity changes periodically in elliptically polarized laser fields. The periodical character is ellipticity-dependent. By establishing the physical image, the periodicity of the harmonic intensity can be ascribed to the contributions of the ground state and the excited state. Furthermore, the electron dynamics from different electronic states can be selected via combining the elliptically polarized laser field with a static electric field. The harmonics dominated either by ground state or excited state are emitted once in an optical cycle in the combined laser field.     

Efficient generation of highly elliptically polarized attosecond pulses

We theoretically demonstrate a scheme to efficiently generate attosecond pulses with high ellipticity by a counter-rotating bicircular field with frequency ratio of 1 : 3 (800 + 267 nm) and 1 : 4 (1600 + 400 nm). It is shown that efficient attosecond pulses with high ellipticity of 0.54 (800 + 267 nm) and 0.79 (1600 + 400nm) can be generated. We also investigate the scaling law of high harmonic generation yield. It is shown that the intensity of the high harmonics can be increased by more than one order of magnitude in the bicircular fields with higher frequency ratios. The high ellipticity and high efficiency of high harmonics are explained by analyzing the symmetry of driving field and the classical electron trajectories.     

Multi-photon resonance enhanced super high-order harmonic generation

This paper proposes highly charged ions pumped by intense laser to produce very high order harmonics.Numerical simulations and full quantum theory of Ne 9+ ions driven by laser pulses at 1064 nm in the power range of 10 9 W/cm 2 ～ 10 15 W/cm 2 show that the emission spectrum corresponds to the electronic transitions from the excited states to the ground state,which is very different from the spectrum of general high-order harmonic generation.In such situation,harmonic order as high as 1000 can be obtained without producing lower order harmonics and the energy conversion efficiency is close to general high order harmonic generation of hydrogen atom in the same laser field.
