Abstract: Focuses on the generation of coherent x rays using ultrashort laser pulses. Information on the process of high-harmonic generation; Limitations of phase-matched high-harmonic generation compared with conventional nonlinear optics; Capability of Role of quasi-phase matching in enhancing the frequency conversion signal; Potential applications of high-order harmonics.
