  1. Effects of carrier envelope phase on single shot XUV supercontinuum generation Mahendra Man Shakya, Steve Gilbertson, Chris Nakamura, Chengquan Li, Eric Moon, Zuoliang Duan, Janson Tacket, Shambhu Ghimire and Zenghu Chang 200

  2. Why do we need attosecond pulses? as ps fs 10-18 s 10-15 s 10-12 s Time Circulation Vibration Rotation

  3. Elaser t What Was Before reported?Single attosecond pulse at cutoff • Laser pulse: 5 fs, 0.75mm Single attosecond pulse(250 as) 85 eV 135 ev Attosecond pulse train BALTU KA et al., Nature 421, 611( 2003)

  4. Our Goal • To study dynamics of electron in atoms and molecules using pump-probe technique with the pulse as short as25 attosecond (one atomic unit) generated from plateau region of XUV spectrum. • To Study effect of CE phase change on the dynamics of electrons in atoms. • To determine the absolute CE phase from XUV Spectrum

  5. What is the advantage of XUV single shot over f-2f spectrometer ? • f-2f set up measures the relative CE phase change . • But it is possible to determine absolute phase from XUV by investigating shot to shot variation of CE phase with polarization gated input.

  6. What is the polarization gating??? e- Right Circular Pulse e- e- Td Ellipticity dependent pulse Left Circular Pulse V. T. Platonenko and V. V. Strelkov J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 16, 435 (1999)

  7. Our Method: Generation of pulses with a time-dependent ellipticity Using Quartz plate Optic axis Optic axis Ellipticity-dependent pulse Quartz Plate l/4 Waveplate

  9. Major problem: Less number of photons Our Effort: • Phase Matched Pressure. • Small Diverging Angle of XUV • Aluminum Filter Shield (Design)

  20. Linear and Long pulse ( 25fs) Harmonic spectrum (Multi- Slits analogy)

  21. Discrete harmonics with linear and long pulse(25fs) input

  22. Linear and Short pulse (6fs) spectrum before polarization gating was applied ( Reduced Slit Number )

  23. Discrete but broad spectral width with linear 6fs input before gating( reduced slit analogy)

  30. Summary • Dependence of the photon flux of polarization gated high harmonics on the target gas pressure was investigated. • Highest number of photons was estimated to be ~104 , which was enough to run single shot experiment. • We observed effect of CE phase on XUV spectra, which could be applied as a “phase meter”.
