论文摘要
确定了两种颜色($ω$,$2Ω$)激光与纳米尺度箔的相互作用的新制度,即使在多循环激光器的情况下,也导致了极其强烈,孤立的attosecond脉冲的排放。对于超过爆破场强度的激光器照射的箔(即能够从离子背景中完全分离电子),添加第二个谐波场会导致箔片的稳定性至井喷强度。然后是急剧向透明度的急剧过渡,本质上是在单个光学周期内发生的。在过渡循环中,密集的纳米尺度电子束加速到相对论速度,并发出一个单一的,强的Attosend脉冲,峰强度接近激光场的峰值。
A new regime in the interaction of a two-colour ($ω$,$2ω$) laser with a nanometre-scale foil is identified, resulting in the emission of extremely intense, isolated attosecond pulses - even in the case of multi-cycle lasers. For foils irradiated by lasers exceeding the blow-out field strength (i.e. capable of fully separating electrons from the ion background), the addition of a second harmonic field results in the stabilization of the foil up to the blow-out intensity. This is then followed by a sharp transition to transparency that essentially occurs in a single optical cycle. During the transition cycle, a dense, nanometre-scale electron bunch is accelerated to relativistic velocities and emits a single, strong attosecond pulse with a peak intensity approaching that of the laser field.
