Enhanced two-color high-harmonic generation achieved by adding an extra gas medium

The high-harmonic generation in a two-color laser field, consisting of a 30-fs Ti:Sapphire laser pulse and its second harmonic, could be enhanced by installing an extra gas medium of Ar in front of the harmonic generation medium of He. The effects of the extra medium were examined by analyzing harmo...

Zusammenfassung:	The high-harmonic generation in a two-color laser field, consisting of a 30-fs Ti:Sapphire laser pulse and its second harmonic, could be enhanced by installing an extra gas medium of Ar in front of the harmonic generation medium of He. The effects of the extra medium were examined by analyzing harmonic spectra taken under different experimental conditions. The observed characteristics of enhanced harmonic generation were explained in terms of the profile modification of the two-color laser beam. The 34th harmonic at 23.5 nm and 38th harmonic at 21.5 nm were enhanced 2.5 and 2 times, respectively.
