Ultrafast XUV emission from laser wakefields in underdense plasma

It is shown that a laser wakefield driven in the highly nonlinear regime or the wave-breaking regime in underdense plasma can emit ultra-broad-band bright extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation pulses, which are as short as a few hundreds of attoseconds in one-dimensional simulations and a few femtosec...
