A two decade enhancement in the conversion efficiency of high harmonic generation is observed and interpreted as the consequence of nonlinearly induced modulation in the phase mismatch between the generating dipole and the propagated harmonics.
We propose a novel technique to improve the efficiency of HHG with few-cycle pulses by controlling their Carrier-Envelope-Phase (CEP) so as to achieve a periodic modulation of the pump peak intensity along with propagation. We have performed numerical simulations based on a three dimensional propagation model in cylindrical coordinates using the nonadiabatic Strong Field Approximation (SFA) to calculate the atomic response. The harmonic grows linearly and after some propagation reaches a value roughly two orders of magnitude higher than the non-modulated, phase-mismatched case.
