    Abstract

    The generation of single isolated attosecond light pulses from the interaction of relativistic few-cycle lasers with solid density plasma surfaces is investigated using one dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The primary subject of the study is the effects of the multi-parameter combinations which uniquely define the laser plasma interactions, on the laser to relativistic high-order harmonic energy conversion efficiencies, and also on the single attosecond light pulse isolation degrees. Here these multi-parameters include laser intensities, incidence angles, plasma scale lengths, etc. The impact of laser-plasma interaction parameters on attosecond light pulse generations is generally complicated. However, there exist an optimal plasma scale length and an optimal incidence angle to efficiently generate high-order harmonics and intense attosecond light pulses. When other parameters are fixed, a moderately intense relativistic laser is more advantageous to realize isolated attosecond light pulses with a broad controlling parameters range. And a larger incidence angle favors a higher isolation degree as well as a broader range of controlling parameters towards the generation of intense isolated attosecond light pulses.
