Modelling harmonic generation measurements in solids.
Harmonic generation measurements typically make use of the plane wave result when extracting values for the nonlinearity parameter, β, from experimental measurements. This approach, however, ignores the effects of diffraction, attenuation, and receiver integration which are common features in a typical experiment. Our aim is to determine the importance of these effects when making measurements ...
متن کاملTheoretical analysis of high-harmonic generation in solids.
We investigate theoretically high-harmonic generation (HHG) in bulk crystals exposed to intense midinfrared lasers with photon energies smaller than the band gap. The two main mechanisms, interband and intraband HHG, are explored. Our analysis indicates that the interband current neglected so far is the dominant mechanism for HHG. Saddle point analysis in the Keldysh limit yields an intuitive p...
متن کاملHarmonic generation in solids with direct fiber laser pumping.
High harmonic generation in solids presents the possibility for bringing attosecond techniques to semiconductors and a simple source for frequency comb spectroscopy in the vacuum ultraviolet. We generate up to the seventh harmonic of a Tm fiber laser by focusing in silicon or zinc oxide. The harmonics are strong and stable, with no indication of material damage. Calculations show the potential ...
متن کاملTheoretical description of high-order harmonic generation in solids
We consider several aspects of high-order harmonic generation in solids: the effects of elastic and inelastic scattering, varying pulse characteristics and inclusion of material-specific parameters through a realistic band structure. We reproduce many observed characteristics of high harmonic generation experiments in solids including the formation of only odd harmonics in inversion-symmetric m...
متن کاملPulse measurements by randomly quasi phase matched second harmonic generation
We demonstrate experimentally the frequency doubling in disordered quadratic nonlinear media in the regime of total internal reflection of the fundamental beam. We show how the transversely emitted second harmonic can be employed for an efficient characterization of short laser pulses. (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version) Wavelength conversion of light via...
