摘要
We theoretically demonstrate a scheme to efficiently generate attosecond pulses with high ellipticity by a counter-rotating bicircular field with frequency ratio of 1 : 3 (800 + 267 nm) and 1 : 4 (1600 + 400 nm). It is shown that efficient attosecond pulses with high ellipticity of 0.54 (800 + 267 nm) and 0.79 (1600 + 400nm) can be generated. We also investigate the scaling law of high harmonic generation yield. It is shown that the intensity of the high harmonics can be increased by more than one order of magnitude in the bicircular fields with higher frequency ratios. The high ellipticity and high efficiency of high harmonics are explained by analyzing the symmetry of driving field and the classical electron trajectories.
