- We study upscaling of gas high harmonic generation, to make efficient use of the ever increasing laser pulse powers. Loose focusing geometries optimizing phasematching are investigated and compared in HHG efficiency to shorter focusing arrangements.

- We focused an intense attosecond pulse train into a neon gas target and observed Ne2+ resulting from two-photon double ionization. By modifying the photon spectrum we find that the process is dominated by the sequential ionization via the Ne+ ion.

- We present a demonstration of two-photon double ionization of neon using an intense extreme ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond pulse train (APT) in a photon energy regime where both direct and sequential mechanisms are allowed. For an APT generated through high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in argon we achieve a total pulse energy close to 1μJ, a central energy of 35 eV, and a total bandwidth of ∼30 eV. The APT is focused by broadband optics in a neon gas target to an intensity of 3×1012Wcm−2. By tuning the photon energy across the threshold for the sequential process the double ionization signal can be turned on and off, indicating that the two-photon double ionization predominantly occurs through a sequential process. The demonstrated performance opens up possibilities for future XUV-XUV pump-probe experiments with attosecond temporal resolution in a photon energy range where it is possible to unravel the dynamics behind direct versus sequential double ionization and the associated electron correlation effects.
