Abstract
Second and third harmonic generation in the interaction of a prepulse- free 700-fs, 248-nm laser pulse with solid targets was observed for ma ximum intensities of similar to 5. 10(15) W/cm(2). Both s- and p-polar ized light generated harmonic emission without observable difference. Harmonic generation was shown to prefer the specular direction. The re sults showed short-pulse ultraviolet lasers to be efficient drivers of harmonics in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and extreme ultraviolet (XU V) range.
