A single-cycle laser pulse is used under the tight-focusing condition for obtaining the λ3 regime. The simulations employ a radially polarized laser as it results in higher γ-photon conversion efficiency compared to both azimuthal and linear polarizations. A significant fraction of the laser energy is transferred to positrons, while a part of the electromagnetic wave escapes the target as attosecond single-cycle pulses.}, title = {Gamma-ray flash generation in irradiating a thin foil target by a single-cycle tightly focused extreme power laser pulse}, volume = {104}, year = {2021} }
