Reconstruction of two pulses with time-dependent polarization states. a, b Complete reconstruction of the time-dependent polarization state of two 250 as pulses carried at 41 eV (vector potential is shown). Ellipticity varies from ε = 0.3 along the y-axis to ε = 0.625 along the x-axis for the pulse in (a), and from ε = 0.5 to ε = 0.9 along the y-axis for the pulse in (b), see text for details. Original (purple in three dimensional (3D), orange in two dimensional (2D)) and reconstructed pulses (black lines in 3D, black dots in 2D). Additionally, the pulse in (b) has a 15% admixture of unpolarized light (not shown). c, d Normalized angularly resolved one-photon spectrum generated in a hydrogen atom using the pulse (a) for panel (c) and pulse (b) for panel (d)
