Full calculation of the observable for HHG in solids — •Francisco Navarrete and Dieter Bauer — Institute of Physics, University of Rostock, 18051 Rostock, Germany

When an intense infrared laser interacts with a target, it can produce radiation at frequencies that are multiples of the central frequency of the driving source. This is known as high-harmonic generation (HHG), which was first investigated for atomic and molecular targets [1] and later for condensed matter [2]. The growing attention to explain the impact of the quantum nature of the driving pulse [3], along with the recognized discrepancies between the spectra in HHG in solids obtained from numerical calculations and experiments [4], has encouraged the pursuit of new methods to compute the spectra [5]. In this study, we demonstrate the distinctions in the harmonic spectrum of HHG in solids by comparing the conventional calculation method of the observable [6] with an alternative approach that takes into account typically overlooked terms. Additionally, we examine the underlying physics behind these dissimilarities. [1] M. Lewenstein et al., Phys. Rev. A 49, 2117 (1994) [2] S. Ghimire et al., Nat. Phys. 7, 138 (2011) [3] M.
