7-fs-pulses with 0.3 mJ are obtained after filamentation in argon and compression by double-chirped-mirrors. These pulses are used to generate high-order harmonics in a semi-infinite gas cell in different noble gases. Spectral broadening of high-order harmonics in xenon and argon is observed. In neon, an extended continuous cut-off region down to 10 nm (124 eV) is observed which is to the best of our knowledge the highest cut-off energy obtained by filamented pulses. Our result suggests the feasibility of single attosecond-pulse-generation at both high photon flux and high cut-off energy.

We present the design of a VMI spectrometer optimized for attosecond spectroscopy in the 0-40 eV energy range. It is based on a compact three-electrode configuration where the lens shape, size, and material have been optimized using numerical simulations to improve the spectral resolution by a factor of ∼5 relative to the initial design [Eppink and Parker, Rev.

Energetic Materials Photolysis Footprint in High-Order Harmonic Generation.

J Phys Chem A

School of Physics and Electronic Technology, Liaoning Normoal University, Dalian 116081, People's Republic of China.

Photolysis of energetic materials offers safer and more controllable advantages compared to traditional ignition methods. Tracking the group and electron dynamics during the photolysis of energetic materials is currently a hot and challenging topic. In this work, we used a time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to study the high-order Harmonic generation (HHG) dynamics induced by strong laser interaction with an isolated CHNO molecule with varying C-N bond lengths.

Electron diffraction spectroscopy is a fundamental tool for investigating quasicrystal structures, which unveils the quasiperiodic long-range order. Nevertheless, it falls short in effectively distinguishing separate local isomorphism classes. This is a long outstanding problem.

Vocal learners, including humans and songbirds, acquire their complex vocalizations by accurately memorizing and imitating the vocal patterns of other individuals. In songbirds, the caudomedial nidopallium (NCM), considered the secondary auditory region, has been suggested to play a critical role in memorizing and recognizing the songs of tutors. However, the mechanisms by which NCM neurons encode the acoustic information of tutor song are not yet fully understood.

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in solids opens new frontiers in ultrafast spectroscopy of carrier and field dynamics in condensed matter, picometer resolution structural lattice characterization and designing compact platforms for attosecond pulse sources. Nanoscale structuring of solid surfaces provides a powerful tool for controlling the spatial characteristics and efficiency of the harmonic emission. Here we study HHG in a prototypical phase-change material GeSbTe (GST).
