| Research Abstract |
We have generated high energy isolated attosecond pulses, which are intense enough to induce the nonlinear phenomena in atoms and molecules. The pulse width was direct characterized by autocorrelation measurement based on two-photon double ionization in nitrogen molecules. By carefully designing the generation configurations, we obtained isolated attosecond pulses with energy up to 1.3 micro Joule/pulse, thus showing its energy enhancement from 100- to 1000-fold compared with the previous report so far. From a 500-as pulse duration determined by the autocorrelation method, the peak power of this isolated attosecond pulse was evaluated to be 2.6 GW. The presented method paves the way for the intense attosecond science frontier, which will certainly bring a great leap forward in research on ultrafast phenomena and nonlinear optics.
