A method for obtaining a single sub-50-attosecond pulse using harmonic radiation is proposed. For the generation of broad harmonic radiation during a single half-optical cycle, atoms are driven by a femtosecond laser pulse with intensity above the saturation intensity for optical field ionization and hence experience a large nonadiabatic increase of the laser electric field between optical cycles. Although the chirped structure of the harmonic radiation imposes a limit on the minimum achievable pulse duration, we demonstrate that its positive chirp can be compensated by the negative group delay dispersion of an appropriately selected x-ray filter material, used also for the spectral selection, resulting in a single attosecond pulse with a duration less than 50 as.
