abstract = {Isolated attosecond pulses (IAPs) generated via
high-harmonic generation (HHG) have emerged as one of the
most powerful tools for the study of ultrafast atomic and
molecular dynamics. Tailoring the HHG emission that is,
dynamically modifying their spectral content or temporal
shape for a specific experiment is difficult since it
requires exquisite control of the driving electric field
waveform on sub-cycle time scales. Here, we present tailored
IAP generation with enhanced efficiency using a two-channel
parametric waveform synthesizer, which can generate
precisely controlled sub-cycle pulses.[1] We are able to
show experimentally how minute changes in the waveform allow
us to enhance the HHG-efficiency and modify the spectral
content as well as the time domain structure of the IAPs in
the water-window (WW) spectral region.[2] Combined with our
novel in-situ waveform characterization technique [3], which
allows the measurement of the complete waveform driving HHG,
and our macroscopic HHG simulation tools, we can identify
the microscopic and macroscopic origins of the observed
efficiency enhancement and spectro-temporal tailoring of the
IAPs.As current ultrashort pulse generation schemes [4] are
reaching the sub-cycle limit, where HHG is highly sensitive
to fine waveform details, understanding HHG driven by
strongly non-sinusoidal fields is paramount for harnessing
the full capabilities of these sources in the next
generation of table-top HHG-based spectroscopy
experiments.[1] Rossi, Giulio Maria, et al. “Sub-cycle
