Carrier Envelope Phase Controlled High-Order Harmonic Generation in Ultrashort Laser Pulse

We investigate the carrier envelope phase （CEP） effects on high-order harmonic generation （HHG） in ultrashort pulses with the pulse duration 2.5 fs when the laser intensity is high enough so that the initial state is ionized effectively during the laser pulse but remains about 20% population at the end of the laser pulse. We find that the ionization process of the initial state is very sensitive to the CEP during the laser pulse. The ionization process of the initial state determines the continuum state population and hence influences dramatically the weights of the classical trajectories that contribute to HHG. In such a case we can not predict the cutoff and the structure of the harmonic spectrum only by the number and the kinetic energy of the classical trajectories. The harmonic spectrum exhibits abundant characters for different CEP cases. As a result, we can control the cutoff frequency and the plateau structure of the harmonic spectrum with CEP by controlling the time behaviour of the ionization of the initial state.     

超短脉冲谐波截止区量子效应研究

采用Lewenstein路径积分模型和准经典三步模型,计算了不同脉宽的超短脉冲高次谐波波谱。通过比较模型截止频率随载波包络相位的变化关系的差异,对辐射过程中的量子效应进行了研究。结果显示,随脉宽的减小,以上两种模型计算结果出现的偏离增加,谐波辐射中的量子效应愈加明显。当脉宽减小至0.5 T(T为光学周期)时,准经典三步模型已不能用以解释Lewenstein模型的计算结果。     

Laser Polarization Effect on Molecular Harmonic and Elliptically Polarized Attosecond Pulse Generation

Molecular harmonic spectra of H+2driven by the linearly polarized laser pulses with different polarized angles have been theoretically investigated through solving the two-dimensional time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation.(i) Below-threshold harmonic spectra show a visible enhanced peak around the 7th harmonic(H7), which produces a red-shift phenomenon as the internuclear distance increased. Theoretical analyses show the red-shift enhanced peak is caused by the laser-induced electron transfer between the ground state and the 1st excited state of H+2.(ii) Due to the two-centre interference phenomenon, the above-threshold harmonic spectra exhibit many maxima and minima.(iii)With the introduction of the polarized angle, the anomalous elliptically polarized harmonics can be found. But, with the introduction of the spatial inhomogeneous effect, not only the ellipticities of the harmonics are equal to a stable value of ε～ 0.1–0.3, but also the harmonic cutoffs are extended. As a result, four super-bandwidths of 407 e V, 310 e V,389 e V, and 581 e V can be obtained. Time profiles of the harmonic generations have been shown to explain the harmonic characteristics. Finally, a series of elliptically polarized(ε～ 0.1–0.3) attosecond X-ray pulses with durations from 18 as to 25 as can be directly produced through Fourier transformation of the spectral continuum.     

测量飞秒激光脉冲啁啾的方法

介绍了一种能够直接检测飞秒脉冲啁啾大小的方法。采用共轴结构的迈克尔逊干涉自相关二次谐波检测系统对自制碰撞脉冲锁模循环染料激光器输出的最窄脉冲宽度约为200fs的脉冲进行了测量。测得的飞秒脉冲自相关二次谐波曲线表明：实测曲线的下包络两翼明显隆起,包络外形很不整齐,对称性较差,说明光脉冲含有啁啾。通过比较干涉测量曲线和理论曲线的形状与面积的大小,可以直观地反映出光脉冲所含啁啾的大小。实验结果分析表明,利用满足光相关检测所需精度的光学元件和满足光相关探测基本条件的实验装置,能测得含有相位及啁啾信息的快干涉项信号,是一种能够直观检测光脉冲所含啁啾大小的可行方法。

Influence of Initial Pulse Chirp on Rainbow-Like Supercontinuum Generation from Filamentation in Air

Supereontinuum （SC） generation from laser filamentation in air is found to depend strongly on the pulse duration. Rainbow-like SC generation is observed only for a pulse of appropriate negative chirp that agrees with the predictions put forward by Golubtsov et al. [Quantum Electron. 33 （2003） 525]. The conversion efficiency of an 800-nm laser light to rainbow-like SC is found to be the highest for 257fs pulses with an initial negative chirp. A larger chirp will lead to filamentation surviving at longer distance.

High Repetition Rate Optical Pulse Generation Using a Rational Harmonic Mode-Locking Technique in a Fiber Ring Laser

By applying a small frequency detuning to the RF modulation frequency, pulse trains with repetition rates of integer multiples of the RF modulation frequency have been obtained in an actively mode-locking fiber ring laser. Optical pulse trains with repetition rates of 20 GHz, 30 GHz and 40 GHz were generated respectively here. Furthermore, an interesting phenomenon of generation of pulse train with repetition rate half the modulation frequency was observed.     

Pulse Slippage of Resonant Third Harmonic Generation in Electron-Hole Plasma

Effect of pulse slippage on resonant third harmonic generation of a short pulse laser in electron-hole plasma in the presence of wiggler magnetic field has been investigated. The group velocity mismatch of the third harmonic pulse and the fundamental pulse is significant in electron hole plasma. As the third harmonic pulse has higher group velocity than that of fundamental pulse, therefore, it moves faster than the fundamental pulse. It gets slipped out of the domain of fundamental pulse and its amplitude saturates. Phase matching condition is satisfied by applying wiggler magnetic field,which provides additional angular momentum to the third harmonic photon to make the process resonant. Enhancement in the efficiency of third harmonic generation of an intense short pulse laser in electron-hole plasma embedded with a magnetic wiggler is seen.

Extension of Harmonic Cutoff and Generation of Isolated Sub-30 as Pulse in a Two-Color Chirped Laser Field

We theoretically investigate high-order harmonic and isolated attosecond pulse generation in a two-color chirped laser field,which is synthesized by a 9 fs/800 nm fundamental chirped pulse and a 9 fs/1600 nm controlling chirped pulse.Our numerical results show that,by using this method,not only is the harmonic cutoff significantly extended to the 948th order harmonic,but also the bandwidth of the supercontinuum spectrum is effectively broadened to about 1342 eV.In addition,due to the introduction of the chirp,the long quantum path is suppressed and only the short one is selected,and then an isolated 28 as pulse with a bandwidth of 155 eV is obtained directly.
