High harmonics from relativistically oscillating plasma surfaces - A high brightness attosecond source at keV photon energies

An intense laser pulse interacting with a near discontinuous plasma vacuum interface causes the plasma surface to perform relativistic oscillations. The reflected laser radiation then contains very high order harmonics of fundamental frequency and - according to current theory - must be bunched in r...
