abstract
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is an excellent tabletop source of coherent extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray radiation. Since high-order harmonics are intrinsically generated in attosecond bursts, it is also opening a new domain of attosecond science. More recently, high-harmonic spectroscopy is evolving to become a unique tool for studying the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. The HHG process from most nonlinear media is well explained by the three-step model. In this talk, I will describe two “odd” cases where the three-step model does not apply. In the first example, I will describe our works on resonant harmonics, where the intensity of a specific harmonic order is more than 100 times higher than the other harmonics. I will show that such harmonics could be well explained by a four-step model, adding an extra step to the conventional three-step model. Such resonant harmonics are also leading to the observation of new phenomena, such as the generation of harmonics involving dressed autoionizing states.
In a second example, I will describe our works on high-order harmonic generation of intense, few-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses. I will show that THz harmonics could be explained by abandoning the microscopic picture, and adopting a macroscopic picture where the current in the nonlinear medium (in our case, n-doped semiconductor) generated by the intense THz pulse undergoes subcycle modulations, thus leading to harmonics. Such effects may be of interest for characterizing various materials for use in the sub-THz to THz frequencies (such as in future 6G devices).
