Generation of coherent attosecond pulses from a nano-tube array illuminated by a high-power femtosecond laser

A method to generate an isolated single-cycle attosecond pulse from the interaction of a high-power femtosecond laser pulse with a nano-tube array is demonstrated using a two-dimensional relativistic particle-in-cell simulation. The radiation mechanism is relativistic nonlinear Thomson scattering fr...
