Abstract

We report results from particle-in-cell simulations of the interaction of intense laser light with overdense plasma designed to examine the effects of plasma waves generated by pulses of fast electrons on high-order harmonic emission from the plasma. We show that the emission spectrum is modulated at the plasma frequency and identify combinations of parameters and circumstances favorable for modulation. In particular, the observed modulation is shown to depend not only on the chosen plasma electron density and intensity of the incident light but on the density profile and pulse shape.
