Optimum conical angle of a Bessel–Gauss beam for low-order harmonic generation in gases

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We determine the conical half-angle at which a weak, loosely focused Bessel–Gauss beam of fixed focal intensity and confocal parameter is most efficient at generating a given harmonic in a gaseous target of arbitrary density profile. Simple analytical results are compared with fully numerical calculations for hydrogen, xenon, and rubidium. The variation of the conversion efficiency with the conical half-angle is shown to depend on the properties of the medium only through the macroscopic dispersion.
