摘要: We investigate possibilities to utilize field enhancement by specifically designed metal nanostructures for the generation of single attosecond pulses using polarization gating technique. predict isolated 59-attosecond-long 15-fs pump with only a 0.6 TW/cm2 intensity. Our simulations also indicate possibility generate previously inaccessible high-harmonics circular an ensemble vertically and horizontally orientated bow-tie structures. In numerical simulation we used extended Lewenstein model, which includes spatial inhomogeneity in hot spots collisions electrons surface.
