Modelling of capillary high harmonic generation
High harmonic generation (HHG) is now an accepted method for laboratory based generation of XUV and soft x-ray light. HHG produces pulses that are highly coherent, with a pulse length in the femtosecond or attosecond timescales. To predict the XUV output from an HHG experiment, both the emission …

Second harmonic generation in novel optical waveguides
Second Harmonic Generation has traditionally been restricted to crystals; however, due to the development of highly sophisticated fabrication technology, poling and phase matching techniques, it has now become feasible in glass fibres and waveguides which are widely used in nonlinear optics. For …

Limits of long wavelength High Harmonic Generation
… for long wavelength driver pulses for High Harmonic Generation (HHG). The advantage of longer wavelengths is that the cut-off of the harmonic spectrum can be increased without the need for large electric fields. Large electric field is undesirable because it leads to large plasma generation …

Limits of High Harmonic Generation conversion efficiency
High Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a fascinating phenomenon from both fundamental and technological point of view. It enables the generation of attosecond pulses and can have applications in EUV lithography and bio-microscopy. HHG can be described by the Three Step Model (TSM), due to the three …

Millimeter-Wave and Sub-Terahertz Parametric Harmonic Generation
The theory of parametric harmonic generation is described in this thesis. It is shown that for Nth-order harmonic generation the time-varying parameter (P), such as elastance (S), capacitance (C), conductance (G), or resistance (R), exhibits N−1 periods of a sine wave under one sinusoidal pumping …
