摘要：

This paper discusses the generation of high-order optical harmonics from solid targets using laser pulses of 35 and 120 femtoseconds. Harmonics up to the 35th order were observed. High conversion efficiency has been achieved, e.g., 10(-6) to the 10th harmonic. It is demonstrated that the harmonic emission is highly directional and that the harmonic efficiency decreases rapidly with increasing plasma scale length.
