摘　　要：强激光与固体密度等离子体作用产生的阿秒脉冲具有强度高、脉宽短等优势,因此吸引了很多研究者的注意.由于超快过程的泵浦探测技术需要的是一个孤立的阿秒脉冲,因此本文重点讨论了相对论强激光与固体密度等离子体作用产生孤立阿秒脉冲的几种物理机理.最近的几个代表性工作表明,强激光与固体密度等离子体作用还可以产生脉宽更短、强度更高的半周期阿秒脉冲.半周期孤立阿秒脉冲在对原子、固体中的电子进行超快的非对称操纵或探测等方面具有重要的应用,因此本文对半周期阿秒脉冲产生的理论机制、实验可行性、标定测量、及应用前景进行了深入的讨论.This article gives an overview on recent progress in the generation of isolated attosecond pulse and isolated half-cycle attosecond pulse.As an isolated attosecond pulse is preferred in the pump-probe experiments for the dynamics of electrons in atom,molecule,or solid,we focus on the isolated attosecond pulses generation from the intense laser pulses interaction with solid density plasma,which have higher intensity and narrower pulse width than that generated in the interaction of laser pulse with gas target.We have firstly discussed the physical mechanism of isolated attosecond pulse generation,such as polarization gating,two-color laser pulses,attosecond light houses,and capacitor target mechanism.In the polarization gating mechanism,we have discussed the physical mechanism that the higher-order harmonic efficiency decreases with the increase of ellipticity.Both the coherent synchrotron radiation mechanism and the relativistic oscillation mechanism can control the intensity of high-order harmonic generation by controlling ellipticity of the incident laser pulse.We also discussed other mechanism to enhance the isolated attosecond pulse bursts in detail.Secondly,we focus on the isolated half-cycle attosecond pulses,which can also be generated from the intense laser pulses interaction with solid density plasma by double foil target mechanism,gas-foil target mechanism,cascaded generation mechanism,microstructured target mechanism,and three-color laser pulse mechanism.The half-cycle attosecond pulses can be useful for probing ultrafast electron dynamics in matter via asymmetric manipulation.Accordingly we discussed the physcial mechanism,experimental feasibility,calibration measurement,and application prospect of half-cycle attosecond pulse in this article.The above mechanism can directly generate ultra-intense isolated attosecond pulses in the transmission direction without requiring extra filters and gating techniques.The dense electron sheet is crucial for the generation of intense attosecond pulses in different
