Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 2468–2471 (1996)Observation of Laser Assisted Photoelectric Effect and Femtosecond High Order Harmonic RadiationReceived 6 November 1995; published in the issue dated 1 April 1996 We report the first observation of laser-induced free-free transitions in the primary photoelectron spectra of gaseous helium ionized by ultrashort soft x-ray pulses. Measured transition amplitudes are well described by projecting the initial electronic state onto a Volkov wavefunction. Additionally, we report the first direct measurements on the temporal duration of femtosecond high order harmonic radiation. The harmonic pulse duration is observed to exhibit strong dependencies upon both laser intensity and position of the generating medium relative to the laser focus. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
