Abstract

Driving high-harmonic generation (HHG) with ultrashort pulses confined to gas-filled capillaries is an efficient method of generating extreme ultraviolet and x-ray radiation. In-situ pulse compression can significantly enhance HHG efficiency [1] but requires operation in the high-ionisation limit, leading to high sensitivity to initial conditions and causing the Gaussian driving pulse to break up into a train of subpulses as it propagates. Our previous studies [1,2] have focused on the most intense subpulse, which can be very short (<10 fs). Here, we perform statistical analysis of all pulse components predicted by numerical simulation, including the contribution of the weaker subpulses, with the aim of predicting generated HHG profiles.
