Abstract

High-order harmonic emission and attosecond extreme-ultraviolet pulse generation have been theoretically investigated by controlling the two-color polarized laser field. The results show that when the polarized angle between the two pulses is arranged at \(\uptheta =0.2\uppi \), not only the harmonic cutoff is extended, but also the modulation on the harmonic spectrum is decreased. Further, by optimizing the laser parameters, a supercontinuum with the 270 eV bandwidth can be obtained, which results in a series of isolated 38 as pulses. Finally, by investigating the pulse duration effect on the harmonic emission, we find that this two-color polarized gating scheme can also be achieved by the multi-cycle pulse region, which is much better for experimental realization.
