Broadband-Isolated Attosecond Pulse Generation by Two-Color Elliptically Polarized Laser Pulses

Abstract

We numerically solve the two-dimensional Schrö dinger equation and investigate isolated attosecond pulse generation by combining a left and a right elliptically polarized pulse together. It is found that the plateau of the harmonic spectra can be extended and the quantum paths can be controlled by adjusting ellipticity. A broadband width of about 220 eV is generated for the case that ellipticity equals 0.3, and time-frequency time-frequency analysis shows that only one long quantum path contributes to high-order harmonic generation. By superposing a bandwidth of 60 eV near the cutoff of the harmonic plateau, an attosecond pulse with the duration of about 62 as could be generated.
