Abstract

The phase-matching regime of high harmonics by means of variable-length gas cells was explored, and the coherence length of the process experimentally evaluated. Record conversion efficiencies were demonstrated in argon, in a regime where dipole phases play an important role. The results were explained by investigating how macroscopic yields of high harmonic generation sources may vary, even in absorption-limited conditions.
