Multi-photon resonance enhanced super high-order harmonic generation

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/11/113204

Abstract This paper proposes highly charged ions pumped by intense laser to produce very high order harmonics. Numerical simulations and full quantum theory of Ne⁹⁺ ions driven by laser pulses at 1064 nm in the power range of 10⁹ W/cm² ～ 10¹⁵ W/cm² show that the emission spectrum corresponds to the electronic transitions from the excited states to the ground state, which is very different from the spectrum of general high-order harmonic generation. In such situation, harmonic order as high as 1000 can be obtained without producing lower order harmonics and the energy conversion efficiency is close to general high order harmonic generation of hydrogen atom in the same laser field.

Keywords: multi-photon excitation high-order harmonic generation
