Abstract

The study of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in confined quantum systems is essential for developing a comprehensive physical description of harmonic generation from atoms to bulk solids. Using the time-dependent density-functional theory, we demonstrate how the symmetry of the system modulates the generation of high-order harmonic in fullerene C60 molecules along different orthogonal directions, as well as the effects of amplitude and photon energy of a linearly polarized laser on high-order harmonics generation. We found that the generation of high-order harmonics perpendicular to the laser polarization direction (LPD) is related to the symmetry of molecules along the LPD and the symmetry of molecules perpendicular to the LPD. Within a certain parameter range, the cut-off energy is linearly proportional to the laser amplitude and the laser photon energy.
