Abstract

High-order harmonics were generated from mono- and polycrystaline molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) monolayers with an infrared femtosecond pulse. We control the orbital angular momentum (OAM) and spatial polarization distribution of the generation beam by using a liquid crystal Q-plate. We then measure the OAM and the full polarization map of the emitted harmonics. We observe that monocrystaline MoS2 behaves as a polarization converter, while polycrystaline MoS2 may be used as a phase mask.
