Abstract
Nonlinear-optical processes in the gas phase have long been used for efficient broadband frequency upconversion of high-power laser radiation 1, Extension of these strategies to high-peak-power few-cycle laser pulses is one of the most challenging tasks in the modem era of laser science and technologies. Recent experiments 2, 3 have demonstrated that gas-phase harmonic-generation techniques can produce few-cycle pulses with a pulse width less than 1 fs in the UV/DUV range.
