Abstract :
Ultrafast ellipticity dependent pulses were created by polarization shaping of few-cycle pulses with birefringence optics. When the pulses were used for high harmonic generation, a supercontinuum spectrum extending 25-45 nm was produced in the plateau and cutoff region that corresponds to single attosecond pulses
