We used two 800 nm laser pulses propagating in the opposite directions, to drive the emission of high-order vacuum ultra-violet harmonics off of the surface of an MgO (100) single crystal. We demonstrated the advantages that our approach provides compared to a single beam geometry, in both forward and backward emission.
