Abstract
SynopsisMolecular polarimetry, based on the determination of molecular frame photoemission in dissociative photoionization (DPI) studied by electron-ion coincident momentum spectroscopy, allows us to measure the complete state of elliptically polarized light. Here, we demonstrate the first complete characterization of high-order harmonic polarization state for three benchmark generation processes with inherent symmetry breaking based on the polarization of the generating beam (elliptical or counter-rotating fields) or on anisotropic targets e.g. aligned molecules. The ability to disentangle circular and unpolarized components of the XUV pulses is of particular interest to qualify the HHG sources.
