Experimental and theoretical studies of two-color-pump resonance-induced enhancement of odd and even harmonics from a tin plasma

Abstract: We study high-order harmonic generation from a laser-produced tin plasma using 780 and 390 nm, 40 fs, 1 kHz pulses. Varying the chirp of the laser radiation, we observe variation of the harmonic frequency and intensity. The enhanced 16th and 17th harmonics are attributed to the influence of the strong ionic transitions of tin. Theoretical calculations of the photoabsorption spectra reveal the decisive role of Sn II and Sn III transitions in the enhancement of single harmonics. Varying the fundamental frequency… Show more

“…So far a large number of strategies involving the tailoring of the input laser pulse for HHG have been implemented. Using a combination of fields of two or more colors to temporally synthesize the desired strong laser field [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], or using chirping techniques [21], seems like a promising route. The new approach we propose involves combining the two techniques to controllably shape the final laser field both in time and in space.…”

“…The enhancement factor in the case of weak (~10%) second field was varied in the range of 3-8, while the theoretical calculations predicted a 100-fold enhancement [16,40]. The two-color pump at low ratio of second and fundamental waves has also been applied in the case of plasma HHG [41,42] and approximately same amendments, as for gas harmonics, were demonstrated. The use of the multi-jet configuration of laser plasma allows further modification and amendment of HHG through the propagation processes.…”
