    Author(s): Kfir, O; Grychtol, P; Turgut, E; Knut, R; Zusin, D; Fleischer, A; Bordo, E; Fan, T; Popmintchev, D; Popmintchev, T; Kapteyn, H; Murnane, M; Cohen, O | Abstract: © 2016 IOP Publishing Ltd. Phase Matching of circularly polarized high-order harmonics driven by counter-rotating bi-chromatic lasers was recently predicted theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. In that work, Phase Matching was analyzed by assuming that the total energy, spin angular momentum and linear momentum of the photons participating in the process are conserved. Here we propose a new perspective on Phase Matching of circularly polarized high harmonics. We derive an extended Phase Matching condition by requiring a new propagation Matching condition between the classical vectorial bi-chromatic laser pump and harmonics fields. This allows us to include the influence of the laser pulse envelopes on Phase Matching. We find that the helicity dependent Phase Matching facilitates generation of high harmonics beams with a high degree of chirality. Indeed, we present an experimentally measured chiral spectrum that can support a train of attosecond pulses with a high degree of circular polarization. Moreover, while the degree of circularity of the most intense pulse approaches unity, all other pulses exhibit reduced circularity. This feature suggests the possibility of using a train of attosecond pulses as an isolated attosecond probe for chiral-sensitive experiments.

  • Sawtooth grating-assisted Phase-Matching.
    Optics express, 2010
    Co-Authors: Pavel Sidorenko, Margaret M Murnane, Alon Bahabad, Henry C. Kapteyn, Tenio Popmintchev, Maxim Kozlov, Oren Cohen
    Abstract:

    We show that a sawtooth Phase-modulation is the optimal profile for grating assisted Phase Matching (GAPM). Perfect (sharp) sawtooth modulation fully corrects the Phase-mismatch, exhibiting conversion equal to conventional Phase Matching, while smoothened, approximate sawtooth structures are more efficient than sinusoidal or square GAPM modulations that were previously studied. As an example, we demonstrate numerically optically-induced sawtooth GAPM for high harmonic generation. Sawtooth GAPM is the most efficient method for increasing the conversion efficiency of high harmonic generation through quasi-Phase-Matching, with an ultimate efficiency that closely matches the ideal Phase-Matching case.

  • Sawtooth grating-assisted-Phase-Matching
    Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics International Quantum Electronics Conference, 2009
    Co-Authors: Pavel Sidorenko, Margaret M Murnane, Alon Bahabad, Henry C. Kapteyn, Tenio Popmintchev, Oren Cohen
    Abstract:

    A quasi-Phase-Matching method where the modulation has a sawtooth profile and the Phase-mismatch is almost fully corrected is suggested. Schemes for implementing sawtooth grating-assisted-Phase-Matching in low-order as well as high-order harmonic generation are proposed.

  • Grating-assisted Phase Matching in extreme nonlinear optics
    2007 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO), 2007
    Co-Authors: Oren Cohen, Henry C. Kapteyn, Tenio Popmintchev, Amy L. Lytle, Xiaoshi Zhang, Margaret M Murnane
    Abstract:

    We propose a new technique for Phase-Matching frequency upconversion into the X-ray region. High harmonic generation in the presence of a weak counter-propagating quasi-CW beam is equivalent to low-order harmonic generation via grating-assisted Phase-Matching.

  • Phase Matching and Quasi-Phase Matching of Extreme High-Order Harmonic Generation
    Springer Series in Chemical Physics, 2006
    Co-Authors: Tenio Popmintchev, Margaret M Murnane, Oren Cohen, Ming-chang Chen, Henry C. Kapteyn
    Abstract:

    We present new schemes for Phase Matching and quasi-Phase Matching extreme high-order harmonic generation. Using longer wavelength driving light at 1.3 im, we extend full Phase Matching of high harmonic generation in argon and neon to 100 and 200 eV respectively, well beyond the Phase-Matching limit for 0.8 im. Also, we show that multiple weak quasi-CW waves can induce Phase modulated structures in the high-harmonic generation process that can be used for highly efficient quasi-Phase Matching.
