Abstract
An approach is proposed and numerically investigated to isolate an energetic monocycle pulse in the ultraviolet region. Ultraviolet radiation is generated in an attosecond radiation window formed from multicolored, multicycle pulses with mutual phase coherence. Using multiple multicycle pulses with energy scalabilities, the scheme is expected to lead to orders of magnitude higher pulse energy of the monocycle optical radiation than those of the sub-10-fs ultraviolet pulses that have been generated so far. The carrier-envelope phase of the monocycle ultraviolet pulse is tailored through the phases of the incident laser radiations.
