“…High-order harmonics span a very broad spectral range and are locked in phase, leading to the generation of attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray regions. [3][4][5][6][7][8] In addition, high-order harmonics contain rich information of the atomic and molecular targets, providing a unique way of probing the structure and dynamics of targets. [9][10][11] In particular, circularly or elliptically polarized high-order harmonics have greater value in numerous applications, such as chiral recognition studies, [12] ultrafast chiral-specific dynamics in molecules, [13] and magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy.…”

Circularly and elliptically polarized high-order harmonics have unique advantages when used in studying the chiral and magnetic features of matters. Here, we studied the polarization properties of high-order harmonic generated from alignment nitrogen molecules driven by cross-linearly-polarized two-color laser fields. Through adjusting various laser parameters and targets, such as the relative phase, the crossing angle, the intensity ratio of driving fields, and the molecular alignment angle, we obtained highly elliptically polarized high-order harmonics with the same helicity in a wide spectral range. It provides a possible and effective way to generate elliptically polarized attosecond pulses. Finally, we show the probability of controlling the spectral range of elliptically polarized harmonics.
