Interaction scheme considered in this work: a few-cycle 800-nm laser beam is focused into a gold bow-tie nanoantenna (a1) or a single nanotip (a2), and (b1), (b2) corresponding induced fields, respectively. (c) Harmonics are generated from hydrogen atom by two kinds of enhanced driving field and homogeneous field.
