Propagation time and nondipole contributions to intraband high-harmonic generation

Atomic Physics 2024-06-12 v2 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics Optics

Abstract

Applying the semiclassical model, we identify two connected effects in intraband high-harmonic generation (HHG): (1) propagation time from the point of emission at the source to the point of detection, (2) beyond-electric-dipole corrections to the light-matter interaction. These effects inherit information regarding the dispersion and cause specific features in the spectra including even-ordered harmonics in systems with space- and time-inversion symmetry. They can for certain experimental geometries be measured free of the dipole background.
