Control of the frequency chirp rate of high harmonic pulses

Ultrafast Phenomena XIV

Abstract

We measured the frequency chirp rate of harmonics 13 to 23 in argon by cross-correlation with a short femtosecond probe pulse. We directly measured the negative chirp due to the atomic dipole phase and demonstrated that an additional chirp on the pump pulse was transferred to the qth harmonic as q times the fundamental chirp.
