Abstract
We investigate here the influence of pulse duration on high harmonic spectra in a wide band gap dielectric, MgO. Employing a Ti:S pulse compressed in a hollow core fiber, we can effectively tune the output pulse duration from 30 fs to 4.5 fs. By systematically varying both intensity and pulse duration, we explore macroscopic scaling laws governing harmonic generation in solids. We examine the cut-off energy, divergence, and emission wavelength. Notably, we show in the measured harmonics spectra differences in the highest energy reached, the shape of the harmonics and their center emitted energy. Pulse duration significantly impacts the emission process, thereby modulating the spectro-spatial characteristics of the generated harmonics, even at constant intensity levels.
