Abstract
We investigate the wavelength scaling of high-order-harmonic-generation (HHG) efficiency by few-cycle laser pulses where the influence of the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) becomes prominent. Based on the numerical solution of time-dependent Schrödinger equation, in the infrared region of (0.8–1.8 m), we observe that the power law of the form (–6) is still present; but for constant intensity and a fixed energy interval, it differs markedly in the CEP. We find that for a specific value of CEP the wavelength dependence follows a scaling in high-harmonic yield. We also perform classical trajectory calculations to gain some understanding of the CEP dependence of the wavelength scaling.
