摘要

Generating Bessel-Gauss beams in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) with attosecond pulse durations poses a significant challenge due to the limitations of conventional transmission optical components. Here, we propose a novel approach to produce such beams by inducing an annular EUV source through high-order harmonic generation (HHG) under nonadiabatic phase-matching conditions. The resulting light pulse maintains temporal coherence and manifests attosecond pulse trains as confirmed by the reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBIT) measurements. Macroscopic HHG calculations reproduce the measured spatiotemporal structures, demonstrating the plasma-induced spatial modulation on the formation of an annular source. Propagation simulations further confirm the feasibility of this approach for generating attosecond Bessel-Gauss beams, presenting exciting prospects for various applications in EUV photonics and attosecond science.
