Abstract
Periodic asymmetric lattices, viewed from one side to the other, have different spatial potential energies. This difference affects the electronic structure of valence electrons. Our work shows that pronounced even harmonic signals are observed from periodic asymmetric lattices driven by a multi-cycle pulse field. The phases of the odd and even harmonics driven by parallel and anti-parallel laser polarization directions are compared and show different dependences on laser polarization direction. Moreover, it is found that each burst in the synthesized attosecond pulse trains in a periodic asymmetric lattice shows the same carrier-envelope phase. We also show that the even-order harmonic efficiency in periodic asymmetric lattices can be enhanced (reduced) by using a multi-cycle driving laser in the presence of a weak terahertz pulse field.
