“…The ellipticity dependence of the harmonic intensity has many applications [34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Elliptically polarized beams modulate the electron trajectory in the continuum [34], helpful for probing the dynamics of the electron wave packet. This manipulation of the electron trajectory has an influence on the recombination probability and will be applicable to probing the property of the molecular orbitals, especially in chiral systems [8].…”

“…The ellipticity grating creates the multiple beamlets in the far-field. In addition, an elliptically polarized incident beam modulates the electron trajectory in the continuum opening the potential to probe the dynamics of the electron wave packet and the symmetry of the molecular orbital [34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

We study the generation of high-harmonic beams by the non-collinear wave mixing of two circularly or elliptically polarized fundamental beams. Changing the ellipticity of the two fundamental beams changes the electric field structure in the focal plane, generating multiple high harmonics beamlets. We show that the ellipticity dependence of the harmonic dipole modulates the near-field harmonic intensity, resulting in the diffraction of the generated harmonics in the far-field.
