Semiconductor crystals driven by strong mid-infrared pulses offer advantages for studying many-body physics and ultrafast optoelectronics via high-harmonic generation. While the process has been used to study solids in presence fields, its potential as an attosecond light source is largely underexplored. We demonstrate that high-harmonics emitted from zinc-oxide produce pulses, measured through spectroscopy of alkali metals. Using a cross-correlation approach, we photoionize Cesium atoms with vacuum-ultraviolet laser field. observe oscillations photoelectron yield, originating instantaneous polarization The phase these encodes synchronization pulse metrology. This opens new spectral windows spectroscopy, enabling studies bound-state dynamics natural systems low ionization energies, while facilitating generation non-classical entangled states visible-VUV.

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) normally requires a careful adjustment of the driving laser intensity (typically ${10}^{14}--{10}^{15}$ W/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$) and gas medium parameters to obtain microscopically macroscopically optimized output. In contrast conventional wisdom, we present experimental results indicating efficient HHG in all rare gases, using high-density around ${10}^{16}$ W/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$. The are corroborated by theoretical simulations, which indicate that ionization-induced self-phase modulation plasma defocusing self-regulate driver level allows HHG. A tenfold broadening near-infrared spectrum is observed, continuous spectra from 18 140 eV spite 50-fs-long pulses. presented scheme represents simple versatile concept for extreme-ultraviolet soft-x-ray continua, could be used transient absorption reflection spectroscopy.
