Abstract

We report the studies of the metals, non-metals, powders, and nanoparticles as the targets for laser ablation induced high-order harmonic generation of ultrashort pulses using the double-pulse technique. The proposed technique demonstrates the attractiveness as the method for the studies of the high-order nonlinear optical properties of various materials. The comparative analysis of the harmonic generation using different targets showed that the species allowing easier ablation (powders, nanoparticles) produce stronger harmonic yield in the extreme ultraviolet range.
