We demonstrate that the total reflected field produced by the interaction of a moderately relativistic laser with dense plasma is itself an efficient driver of high harmonic generation. A system of two or more successive interactions of an incident laser beam on solid targets may therefore be an experimentally realizable method of optimizing conversion of laser energy to high harmonics. Particle-in-cell simulations suggest that attosecond pulse intensity may be increased by up to four orders of magnitude in a multi-pass system, with decreased duration of the attosecond pulse train. We discuss high-harmonic waveform engineering for enhanced attosecond pulse generation with an electron trajectory model, present the behavior of multi-pass systems over a range of parameters, and offer possible routes towards experimental implementation of a two-pass system.
