We experimentally observe longer than long trajectory influence in high order harmonic generation (HHG) by varying the peak intensity of the driving laser field through either direct attenuation, or by chirping the laser pulse. Using a…

We develop a numerical scheme to investigate the high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in intense laser-matter interactions. Tracing the time evolution of every electronic laser-field-free state, we "observe" the HHG in a time-integrated…
