Abstract
We present calculated optical harmonic spectra for atoms and ions in the high intensity regime to current short-pulse experiments. We find that ions can produce harmonics comparable in strength to those obtained from neutrals, and that the emission extends to much higher order. Simple scaling laws for the strength of the harmonic emission and the maximum observable harmonic are suggested. These results imply that the photoemission observed in recent experiments in helium and neon contains contributions from ions as well as neutrals. © 1992 The American Physical Society.

High-order harmonic generation using intense femtosecond pulses
Neon gas excited by 800-nm laser pulses (15 mJ, 125 fsec) at an intensity near ${10}^{15}$ W/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ generates harmonics up to 109th order. The appearance of success...

We perform a comparison study on strong-field ionization of the rare-gas dimers (Kr${}_{2}$ and Ar${}_{2}$) with their rare-gas monomers (Kr and Ar) in infrared laser fields at ...
Plasma perspective on strong field multiphoton ionization
During strong-field multiphoton ionization, a wave packet is formed each time the laser field passes its maximum value. Within the first laser period after ionization there is a...
