Laser intensity effect on single-order harmonic enhancement

Abstract:

Through the laser waveform control, the enhancement of the single-order harmonic can be achieved. Further, when the fundamental laser intensity is increased, the enhancement of the single-order harmonic is disappeared. When the controlling laser intensity is increased, the enhanced ratio of the single-order harmonic can be enhanced and a maximum enhanced value can be found at the specific laser intensity. Theoretical analyses show that the enhancement of single-order harmonic is not only dependent on the folded structure of the harmonic emission process, but also related to the interference from different harmonic emission peaks.
