Circularly-Polarized Harmonic Generation in Underdense Plasma Using Bi-Color Lasers

OSA High-brightness Sources and Light-driven Interactions Congress 2020 (EUVXRAY, HILAS, MICS), pp. ETh3A.3

Abstract

We have modeled bi-color circularly polarized harmonic generation in under-dense plasmas using a combination of PIC simulation and a nonlinear fluid model. Generalized selection rules and helicities, together with harmonic efficiencies are predicted and found to be consistent with numerical results.
