Proposal for attosecond light pulse generation using laser induced multiple-harmonic conversion processes in rare gases

Abstract A new principle of attosecond light pulse generation is suggested. The method is based on a Fourier synthesis of laser induced multiple harmonics, which all are oscillating with the same fixed phase as predicted and observed recently in rare gases. According to our calculation using published experimental data, the production of a regular sequence of ∼30–70 as duration light pulses is expected to be realizable.
