We report on high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in micrometer-sized liquid water droplets under vacuum condition. A chirped pulse amplification laser system delivers 100 fs-pulses with energies up to 5 mJ for HHG in an ensemble of emitters. The coherent sum of all emitters within the droplet forms the harmonic signal. Therefore, macroscopic effects have to be taken into account. To maximize the harmonic yield, the phases of all these emitters have to be matched. The influence of phase-matching aspects onto HHG are demonstrated by different parameters. Additionally, a pump-probe setup allows for the observation of the spatiotemporal evolution of the target. When the droplet is hit by the pump pulse it starts evaporating, while the probe pulse creates the harmonic radiation. Thus, different pump-probe time delays give access to different states of the target during HHG. Results of phase-matching experiments and the spatiotemporal evolution of the target will be presented.
