Abstract

ABSTRACT A promising method to both extend the harmonic energy and enhance the harmonic intensity is presented when a He atom is exposed to the combination of a two-color chirped pulse and an ultrashort ultraviolet pulse. It is found that: (1) with the introduction of the two chirps, the harmonic energy has been remarkably extended; (2) by properly adding an ultrashort ultraviolet pulse to this synthesized two-color chirped pulse, the harmonic yield is enhanced by 3 orders of magnitude compared with the two-color chirped case; (3) the harmonic spectrum higher than the 96th order shows an ultrabroad supercontinuum with a 395 eV bandwidth, and the proper superposition over the harmonics directly produced a series of intense 40 as pulses which is 3 orders of magnitude higher than that in the two-color chirped case.
