Abstract

A few recently introduced approaches of the high-order harmonic generation in laser-produced plasmas are reviewed. We show how the tuning of odd and even high-order harmonics of ultrashort pulses along the strong resonance of laser-produced indium plasma using optical parametric amplifier of white-light continuum radiation (1250−1400 nm) allows observation of different harmonics enhanced in the vicinity of the transition of In II ions possessing high oscillator strength. We discuss various peculiarities and discuss the theoretical model of the phenomenon of tunable harmonics enhancement in the region of 62 nm using indium plasma. With the theoretical analysis, we present the approach allowing reproduce the experimental observations and characterize the dynamics of the resonant harmonic emissions. We also discuss the resonance enhancement of harmonics using mid-infrared radiation in the tin, chromium, and antimony plasmas and show the calculations of this process.
