Femtosecond enhancement cavities have enabled multi-10-MHz-repetition-rate coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) sources with photon energies exceeding 100 eV - albeit with rather severe limitations of the net conversion efficiency and of the duration of the XUV emission. Here, we explore the possibility of circumventing both these limitations by harnessing spatiotemporal couplings in the driving field, similar to the "attosecond lighthouse," in theory and experiment. Our results predict dramatically improved output coupling efficiencies and efficient generation of isolated XUV attosecond pulses.

We investigate an efficient scheme to generate and outcouple extreme ultraviolet frequency combs based on cavity-enhanced noncollinear high-harmonic generation. Our numerical results show that phase matching plays a crucial role for high energy conversion and output-coupling efficiencies, which strongly depend on the crossing angle, ionization probability, and initial atomic density.
