• Abstract summary: We show that the phase-matching cutoff for harmonic generation in argon increases from 45 to 100 eV when the driving laser wavelength is increased from 0.8 to 1.3 micrometers. Theoretical calculations suggest that phase-matched high harmonic frequency upconversion driven by mid-infrared pulses could be extended to extremely high photon energies.

• Abstract: We demonstrate that phase-matched frequency upconversion of ultrafast laser light can be extended to shorter wavelengths by using longer driving laser wavelengths. Experimentally, we show that the phase-matching cutoff for harmonic generation in argon increases from 45 to 100 eV when the driving laser wavelength is increased from 0.8 to 1.3 micrometers. Phase matching is also obtained at higher pressures using a longer-wavelength driving laser, mitigating the unfavorable scaling of the single-atom response. Theoretical calculations suggest that phase-matched high harmonic frequency upconversion driven by mid-infrared pulses could be extended to extremely high photon energies.

  Probing coherent quantum dynamics in light-matter interactions requires high-repetition-rate isolated attosecond pulses (IAPs) in pump-probe experiments. We experimentally achieve attosecond control of extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) high harmonics in the wide-bandgap dielectric MgO. We achieve IAP production at an unprecedented megahertz repetition rate, paving the way for all-solid compact XUV sources for IAP generation.

• Phase matching of high harmonic generation in the soft and hard X-ray regions of the spectrum [0.0]
  We show how bright, fully coherent, hard x-ray beams can be generated through nonlinear upconversion of femtosecond laser light. We identify the dominant phase matching mechanism for long wavelength driving lasers. Scaling of the overall conversion efficiency is surprisingly favorable as the wavelength of the driving laser is increased.
