摘要： We investigate theoretically the spectral shift of the high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in ZnO driven by a combined laser field by solving the two-band semiconductor Bloch equations (SBEs) in the velocity gauge. The combined laser field is synthesized by a fundamental laser pulse and its seventh-frequency laser pulse. When the seventh-frequency laser pulse is added to the rising or falling parts of the fundamental laser field, we find that the spectral blueshift or redshift appears, which is due to the unequal contribution of the rising and falling parts in the fundamental laser field to the harmonics. By analyzing the time-dependent conduction band population in k space, we found that, in addition to the tunneling ionization channel, there is also the resonant electron injection channels which is induced by the seventh-frequency laser pulse. The harmonics generated by the different channels show the spectral redshift or the spectral blueshift, respectively. Through analyzing the k-integrated transient conduction band population of the electrons from different channels, we found that if there is a certain delay in the process of the electron excitation, it will lead to the delay in the harmonic emission, which results in the spectral redshift of the harmonics.
