e, The spatially resolved XUV spectrum measured at the far-field without the perturbation. f, Reconstructed XUV spectrum in the near-field where the XUV is generated. g, The reconstructed XUV spectrum at the near-field on-axis (red squares) and off-axis (blue circles). The XUV spectra calculated using the SFA on-axis (red solid line) and off-axis (blue solid line).

As long as the intensity of the perturbing pulse is very weak compared to that of the fundamental laser pulse (Ip/I0 ≈ 3 × 10−4 in this work), the XUV emission generated from a single atom in the near-fieldEnear ε can be written in the first-order approximation as:
The near-and far-fields are related through the Fourier transform, which can be written as:
