We identify and explore a high orbital angular momentum (OAM) harmonics generation and amplification mechanism that manipulates the OAM independently of any other laser property, by preserving the initial laser wavelength, through…
Nonlinear processes are often governed by selection rules imposed by the symmetries of the molecular configurations. The most well-known examples include the role of mirror symmetry breaking for the generation of even harmonics, and the…
The optical phase of the driving field in the process of high harmonic generation and the coherence properties of the harmonics are fundamental concepts in attosecond physics. Here, we consider to drive the process by incoherent classical…
Structured ultrafast laser beams offer unique opportunities to explore the interplay of the angular momentum of light with matter at the femtosecond scale. Linearly polarized vector beams are paradigmatic examples of structured beams whose…
We study the high harmonic generation with vortex beams beyond the dipole approximation. To do so we employ the full minimal coupling approach to account for multipolar coupling without truncation and describe the full spatio-temporal…

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in aligned linear molecules can offer valuable information about strong-field interactions in lower-lying molecular orbitals, but extracting this information is difficult for three-dimensional molecular…

High-harmonic generation (HHG) in crystalline solids have been examined so far on the basis of one-body energy-band structures arising from electron itineracy in a periodic potential. Here, we show emergence of HHG signals which are…
Uniaxial anisotropy in nonlinear birefringent crystals limits the efficiency of nonlinear optical interactions and breaks the spatial symmetry of light generated in the parametric down-conversion (PDC) process. Therefore, this effect is…

We demonstrate that high-harmonic generation (HHG) in solids dominantly originates from strongly localized surface states through non-perturbative processes. Measurements reveal that HHG from bulk states is suppressed by at least 1-2 orders…
