Waveform retrieving of an isolated attosecond pulse using high-order harmonics generation of the superimposed
Abstract:
An all-optical method is suggested for the metrology of an isolated, pulse-to-pulse stabilized attosecond pulse. It is shown analytically that high-order harmonic generation (HHG) yield for an intense IR pulse and time-delayed attosecond pulse keeps encoded waveform of the attopulse, which can be decoded by the time delay measurements of the HHG yield. The retrieval method is demonstrated by modeling HHG from Ne atom within time-dependent Kohn-Sham equations. The application of the suggested method for monitoring the carrier-envelope phase of the attosecond pulse is discussed.
