Abstract
Waveform control of three kinds of chirped pulses (i.e. βt, βt
2 and βt
3) to produce harmonic spectra and attosecond pulses has been investigated. It is found that by properly choosing the chirps, the chirp delays and the other laser parameters, not only the instantaneous frequency of some specific half profiles can be decreased, but also its intensity can be increased. As a result, the free electron can receive more energy when it accelerates in these regions, thus leading to the extension of the harmonic cutoff and harmonic plateau. Finally, through the Fourier transformation of the harmonic spectra and by superposing some harmonics, three single attosecond pulses with the durations of 30 as, 33 as and 39 as can be obtained.
