  • Abstract
    We demonstrate, for the first time, high-order harmonic generation from C60 pumped by intense femtosecond Ti: sapphire laser. Laser-produced plasmas from C60-rich epoxy and C60 films were used as the nonlinear media. Harmonics up to the 25th order were observed. The harmonic yield from fullerene-rich plasma is about 25 times larger compared with those produced from bulk carbon target.
