Article Description

The generation of high-order harmonics in a semi-infinite cell by femtosecond laser pulses is a common practice for reliable coherent and low divergence XUV source beams for applications. Despite the relative simplicity of the experimental method, several phenomena coexist that affect the generated spectral and divergence characteristics of the high harmonic XUV frequency comb. The ionisation degree of the medium and the consequent plasma formation length imposes a spa-tiotemporal evolution of the fundamental EM field and XUV absorption. Varying the laser pulse chirp and the focusing conditions, as well as the gas density, we measured intense harmonic spectral and divergence variations attributed mainly to self-phase modulations of the laser EM field in the partially ionised medium. Additionally, low-divergence high harmonics are observed for certain laser chirp values attributed to the strong phase matching of only the short electron quantum path. Thus, a tunable, low divergent, and coherent XUV source can be realised for spatiotemporal imaging applications in the nanoscale.
