Robust generation of isolated attosecond pulse against the variation of carrier envelope phase of driving laser pulses
Abstract
We propose a scheme for generating isolated attosecond pulse (IAP) via high-order harmonic generation in gases using a chirped two-color laser field of multicycle duration. In contrast to previous techniques where the stable carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of the driving laser pulses is a prerequisite for IAP generation, the proposed scheme is robust against the large variation of CEP. We show the generation of IAP with an intensity fluctuation less than 50% and an intensity contrast ratio higher than 5:1 when the CEP shift is as large as 1.35π.
