[摘要]:We investigate theoretically the high-order harmonic generation (HHG) by two orthogonally-polarized linearly chirped laser pulses. We show that such generating field has a specific temporal variation of the ellipticity which provides generation of two XUV attosecond pulses with tunable delay between them. This delay is controlled by the delay between the two generating pulses. Perspectives of application of this technique for the attosecond pump - attosecond probe experiments are discussed.
