Double optical gating (DOG) technique was implemented with a two-cycle, 1.7 µm driving field to generate isolated attosecond pulses in the 100-250 eV spectrum range. The strong ellipticity dependency of the high harmonics from the 1.7 µm driving field makes polarization based gating method very efficient. When a second harmonic (SH) field is introduced, complete gating can be achieved with less ionization from the leading edge of the driving field, which yields supercontinua with a pulse energy of 0.3 nJ. We perform an attosecond streaking measurement to confirm the generation of isolated attosecond pulses.
