Abstract
We present a systematic study of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from helium ion with the initial state prepared as a coherent superposition of electronic ground state and an excited state. As a result, the conversion efficiency of the harmonic spectrum is significantly enhanced. When we add a static electric field in fundamental field, the supercontinuum region of the harmonic spectrum is distinctly extended and an isolated 100 as pulse can be generated. Moreover, we use a spatial nonhomogeneous field to increase the cutoff energy in high-order harmonic generation spectrum, which can be extended to about 700 eV, and an isolated 50 as pulse can be obtained directly by the superposition of the supercontinuum harmonics.
