Abstract

Summary form only given. High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases with sub-30 fs driving laser pulses has been demonstrated to be a powerful technique for the production of short-pulse coherent radiation in the soft-X-ray range up to 0.5 keV. Much of the efforts were directed towards understanding of existence of the plateau, and the position of the cutoff. A detailed analysis, with high spectral resolution, of the HHG processes in this ultrafast driving pulse temporal regime is still far from being complete.
