摘要：

We report a strong dependence of the soft-x-ray spectra generated by high harmonic emission on the chirp of the excitation pulse, when an ultrashort laser drives the process. For identical pulse durations, distinct harmonic peaks can be observed for positively chirped excitation pulses, while for negatively chirped pulses, the harmonic peaks become irregular. This behavior is explained by simulations that combine the chirp of the laser with the intrinsic phase shift of the harmonics. This work resolves an outstanding discrepancy between theory and experiment by demonstrating that high-order harmonic generation driven by short-duration pulses can result in distinct harmonic peaks. This work conclusively demonstrates the role of the intrinsic phase in determining harmonic emission spectra, and control this phase during the emission process.
