Abstract
In the past decade, there has been a drive to produce intense tabletop XUV laser sources to study ultrafast dynamics in atoms and molecules. One promising technique is high-order harmonic generation (HHG) driven by two-color laser fields, which has been shown to enhance the harmonic yield over harmonics generated by only the fundamental single-color field, depending on the wavelengths' relationship [1,2]. In preliminary data, we observe more than two orders of magnitude enhancement of harmonics produced by the two-color (800/400-nm) laser field over the 800-nm field. We also explore the enhancement's dependence on the relative intensities between the two colors. \newline \newline [1] C. Jin \emph{et al.}, Nat. Comm. \textbf{5}, 4003 (2014).\newline [2] I. J.
