Significantly enhanced conversion efficiency of high-order harmonic generation by introducing chirped laser pulses
Abstract:
An effective scheme to enhance the yield of high-order harmonic generation originated from spatially inhomogeneous field through the interaction between few-cycle chirped laser pulses and a nano-tip structure is demonstrated. The conversion efficiency of harmonics from chirped laser pulses was significantly improved by nearly three more orders of magnitude than that of chirp-free pulses, and the cutoff energy of the corresponding harmonics was dramatically enhanced. By superimposing a series of properly selected orders of harmonics, isolated attosecond pulses of high intensity can be obtained. Furthermore, we compared the effects of different types of chirps on harmonics.

Harmonic Mean
Take the example of the speed of a car, which is the measure of the rate of distance traveled. If the vehicle traverses the same distance back-and-forth, its average speed equals the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. However, if the car moves with varying speeds, then the arithmetic mean is more skewed...

Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls...
