    Figures & Tables(4)
    Top panel is the experimental setup for HOHG. The bottom panel is the raw image of the harmonic spectrum obtained from the glass target with a PM.
    (a) Schematic of the PM system. (b) The picosecond ASE contrast ratios measured without (black) and with (red) the PM.
    The raw spectral image (top panel) and spectrum of high-order harmonics (bottom panel) obtained (a) with and (b) without the PM in the specular direction of the incident laser.
    (Color online) (a) Dependence of 18th harmonic intensities on the plasma scale lengths L obtained in the experiment (red). The blue line indicates the intensity of the background plasma emission. The harmonic spectra obtained by PIC simulations with different plasma scale lengths (b) L=0.001λ (black), (c) L=0.1λ (green), and (d) L=0.8λ (brown).
