Abstract

We investigate theoretically the high-order harmonic generation in beryllium atom irradiated by a short 1850 nm linearly polarized laser pulse in the intermediate strong-field ionization regime with the Keldysh parameter of 0.85. To this end, the respective time-dependent Schrödinger equation is solved by the time-dependent restricted-active-space configuration-interaction (TD-RASCI) method. By systematically increasing the active space of included configurations, we demonstrate an individual effect of different physical processes evoked by the pulse, which, all together, significantly enrich and extend the computed high-order harmonic generation spectrum.

Highlights

  • The high-order harmonic generation (HHG (Corkum, 1993)) is one of the most fascinating processes arising due to the nonlinear response of matter to strong laser pulses

  • The first one is composed of the Hartree-Fock (HF) orbitals obtained by solving the stationary Schrödinger equation of the singly charged beryllium ion in the configuration of 1s2+2s1+

  • Generation of high-order harmonics in the beryllium atom exposed to an intense linearly polarized 1850 nm laser pulse is studied beyond the single-active-electron approximation by the time-dependent restricted-active-space configuration-interaction method

Summary

Introduction

The high-order harmonic generation (HHG (Corkum, 1993)) is one of the most fascinating processes arising due to the nonlinear response of matter to strong laser pulses. All HHG spectra of Be, computed by these methods beyond the SAE approximation, demonstrate a significance of electron dynamics and correlations in the generation of high-order harmonic spectra.
