Intensity Scalings of Attosecond Pulse Generation by the Relativistic-irradiance Laser Pulses

  • Chapter
Ultrafast Optics V

Abstract

We present the theoretical comparative analysis of different attosecond pulse generation techniques in which the relativistic-irradiance driver pulses are used. In particular, we concentrate on the intensity scalings of the attosecond pulse duration, wavelength, and conversion efficiency. We also discuss the optimum conditions and the major implementation challenges.
