Abstract
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) by hydrogenlike atoms/ions in the uniform periodic electric field, formed by the two linearly polarized counterpropagating laser beams of relativistic intensities, is studied. The relativistic quantum theory of HHG in such fields, at which the impeding factor of relativistic magnetic drift of a strong wave can be eliminated, is presented arising from the Dirac equation. Specifically, a scheme of HHG in underdense plasma with the copropagating ultraintense laser and fast ion beams is proposed.
