Cover Story: The interaction of strong laser fields with atoms and its application to generate high harmonics in gases has been extensively studied recently. The generated harmonics can be used for time-resolved spectroscopy to study fast physical and chemical processes; they can be utilized to seed X-ray and free electron lasers to improve their coherence and beam quality, and harmonic beams can be used for the next-generation EUV lithography. The pulses of the driver laser with a 0.8 µm wavelength and 40 fs ultrashort pulse duration were focused to generate harmonics in a long gas medium, which gave us an opportunity to exploit the nonlinear propagation effects in such a configuration. An intense harmonic source around 13.5 nm was successfully realized with broad spectral tunability. Numerical simulations aid us in understanding the observations. View this paper
