Enhancing keV high harmonic signals generated by long-wave infrared lasers
Abstract
It is demonstrated by single-atom simulations that X-ray signals in the 3.4 to 4 keV region from an 8 micron laser driven high harmonic generation can be increased by more than two orders of magnitude when a single-cycle pulse centered at 800 nm is added. The ionization probability of a helium atom by the two-pulse field is set to 4.56x10-5, which is needed for balancing the index of refraction of free electrons with that of neutral helium atoms to achieve phase matching.
