Abstract:
In order to understand the effect of nuclear motion of H
2+ and T
+ 2on harmonic intensity and attosecond pulse generation, the intensity changes in the harmonic cutoff region from H
2+ and T
2+ driven by a 10fs and 20fs lasers were theoretically studied by numerically solving the time-dependent SchrÖdinger equation. The results show that the harmonic intensity follows as H
2+ > T
2+ under shorter pulse duration case; it follows as T
2+ > H
2+ under longer pulse duration case. According to the changing law of harmonic intensity, the high intensity and high energy harmonic plateau can be obtained by introducing the half-cycle laser pulse under the optimal harmonic emission intensity, and then the attosecond pulse with pulse duration of 37as can be obtained. The study provides a new way to detect isotopic molecules and generate high intensity and high energy attosecond pulses.
