Description
One of the factors that currently limits harmonics from solids as a useful source of XUV radiation is the short temporal coherence time associated with spectral broadening in the underdense coronal plasma. In this paper we present data obtained at contrast ratios between 1:1010 and 1:103 and demonstrate that the pulse contrast needs to be controlled carefully to optimize the bandwidth of harmonics from solid targets
