Abstract
High-harmonics generation (HHG) in solids require high-energy few-cycle laser drivers at near- to mid-infrared wavelengths with excellent beam quality to reach fluences of ~1 TW/cm2. Along this line, soliton sources based on large mode area silica-core singlemode fibers produce ultrashort (70 fs) pulses at remote wavelengths with hundreds of nJ, thus providing a new platform for driving HHG in solids. In this communication, we explore the potential of such soliton-based fiber driver for HHG in thin-films of zinc oxide. The laser delivers 41 nJ 70 fs solitonic pulses at 1764 nm and drives harmonics generation up to H7.
