abstract = {The investigation of high-order harmonic generation (HHG)
of femtosecond laser pulses by means of laser-produced
plasmas is surveyed. This kind of harmonic generation is an
alternative to the HHG in gases and shows significantly
higher conversion efficiency. Furthermore, with plasma
targets there is no limitation on applicable laser intensity
and thus the generated harmonics can be much more intense.
In principle, harmonic light may also be generated at
relativistic laser intensity, in which case their harmonic
intensities may even exceed that of the focused laser pulse
by many orders of magnitude. This phenomenon presents new
opportunities for applications such as nonlinear optics in
the extreme ultraviolet region, photoelectron spectroscopy,
and opacity measurements of high-density matter with high
temporal and spatial resolution. On the other hand, HHG is
strongly influenced by the laser-plasma interaction itself.
In particular, recent results show a strong correlation with
high-energy electrons generated during the interaction
process. The harmonics are a promising tool for obtaining
information not only on plasma parameters such as the local
electron density, but also on the presence of large electric
and magnetic fields, plasma waves, and the (electron)
transport inside the target. This paper reviews the
theoretical and experimental progress on HHG via
laser-plasma interactions and discusses the prospects for
applying HHG as a short-wavelength, coherent optical tool.},
