Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 752–755 (1996)Enhanced High-Harmonic Generation Using 25 fs Laser PulsesReceived 7 June 1995; published in the issue dated 29 January 1996 We present experimental and theoretical results on high-harmonic generation in noble gases using an 805 nm, 25 fs, titanium-doped sapphire laser. The harmonic energies observed are unexpectedly high when compared with experimental and theoretical results to date for longer excitation pulses. We observe that the efficiency of harmonic production is highest for shorter pulses. Furthermore, the wavelength of the harmonics can be tuned by adjusting the sign of the chirp of the excitation pulse, demonstrating a tunable, ultrashort-pulse, <25fs soft-x-ray source. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
