摘要
The results of investigations into the generation of high-order harmonics (up to the 21st order) of picosecond (tau = 38 ps) Nd : YAG laser radiation in the plasma produced by laser ablation of metal and carbon-containing material surfaces are presented. We demonstrate the feasibility of generating high-order harmonics in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral range (with radiation wavelengths shorter than 120 nm) in plasmas with an efficiency of similar to 0.7 x 10(-4). In carbon-containing plasma, the 7th harmonic intensity exceeded that of the 5th one by a factor of seven.
