Abstract

We generate elliptically polarized harmonics with tunable handedness by controlling laser ellipticity in relativistic laser-solid interactions. Experiments closely match simulations, enabling multi-color, circularly polarized relativistic-intensity pulses, with up to 10% energy in the second harmonic.
