Abstract
We investigate the orientation dependence of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from O(2) and CO(2) molecules using the strong-field approximation (SFA). Our simulations reveal the important modulation of the ionization to the HHG orientation dependence, especially at larger orientation angles. By virtue of a simplified model arising from the SFA, we show that this modulation can be read from the harmonic order where the HHG spectra at different orientation angles intersect. These results give suggestions on probing the molecular structure and dynamics using HHG.
