We theoretically investigate the elliptically polarized harmonics from aligned molecular ion H2+ in orthogonally polarized two-color (OTC) laser pulses. Our results show that a striking peak appears in the ellipticity curve of odd-order harmonics, and this peak shows obvious alignment dependence and shifts toward higher energy as the amplitude ratio of two colors increases. The location of the peak is close to that of the interference minimum predicted by using a modified model of dipole, indicating strong two-center interference effects in ellipticity. Through adjusting the frequency ratio of two colors, large ellipticity is obtained for both odd and even harmonics in a wide energy region. As a result, we synthesize a bright elliptically polarized isolated attosecond pulse with an ellipticity up to 0.63.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
