Single Ultrashort Attosecond Pulse Generation via Combination of Chirped Fundamental Laser and an Ultraviolet Controlling Pulse

We theoretically study the high-order harmonic generation （HHG） from a hydrogen atom in an intense few-cycle chirped fundamental laser in combination with an ultraviolet （uv） controlling pulse. The high-order harmonic spectrum is calculated by solving the time-dependent Schr6dinger equation using the split-operator method. In our calculation, we present the difference of the high-order harmonic spectrum from one-dimensional （1D） model hydrogen atom and three-dimensional （3D） real hydrogen atom. We found that the plateau of the high-order harmonic generation from the 1D ease and 3D case are all extended effectively to Iv -k 35Up due to the presence of the chirped laser pulse and the HHG supercontinuum spectrum is generated by adding an ultraviolet controlling pulse at a proper time, but the efficiency of the HHC for 3D case is more higher at the near cut-off region than the 1D case. Therefore, the generation of the attosecond pulse by synthesizing the harmonics near cut-off region have some slight differences between 1D and 3D simulations. As a real 3D case study, we show that an isolated 18 as pulse with a bandwidth of 232.5 eV is generated directly by optmizing the combination laser fields.
