Abstract

The authors present results on the production of high energy, in the range of multi-ten nJ, coherent continuum radiation generated by the interaction of rare gases with a high power many-cycle laser field. The emission occurs as a result of an improved IPG technique. This radiation can support intense isolated asec pulses capable to induce two-XUV-photon processes in matter.
