Elliptically polarized high-order harmonic generation in nitrogen molecules with cross-linearly-polarized two-color laser fields


 Circularly and elliptically polarized high-order harmonics have unique advantages when used in studying the chiral and magnetic features of matters. Here, we studied the polarization properties of high-order harmonic generated from alignment nitrogen molecules driven by cross-linearly-polarized two-color laser fields. Through adjusting various laser parameters and targets, such as the relative phase, the crossing angle, the intensity ratio of driving fields, and the molecular alignment angle, we obtained highly elliptically polarized high-order harmonics with the same helicity in a wide spectral range. It provides a possible and effective way to generate elliptically polarized attosecond pulses. Finally, we show the probability of controlling the spectral range of elliptically polarized harmonics.
