摘要
We present a new scheme to generate efficient isolated attosecond pulse by using the combination of a fundamental and a weak second harmonic ( SH) field in the multi-cycle regime. Because of the symmetry breaking of the electric field, the ionization dynamics of the electron can be controlled by adjusting the relative phase of the two fields. Then attosecond ( as) pulses will be generated each full optical cycle of the fundamental field. Our simulation shows that the intensity of the single attosecond pulse can be enhanced by an order of magnitude in our scheme compared with the scheme in [ Opt. Lett. 31, 975 ( 2006)].
