Michelson Interferometry of High-order Harmonic Generation in Solids
arXiv:1812.10070 · doi:10.1088/1361-6455/aad40b
Abstract
For the high-order harmonic generation in solids, we find a distinct and clean interference pattern in the high-energy end of the spectrum which can be interpreted as a Michelson interferometer of the Bloch electron. Our results are achieved by a numerical solution to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation of the quasi-electron in solids and can be explained by an analytical model based on the principle of the Michelson interferometry. The present study deepens our understanding of the HHG mechanism in crystalline materials and may find potential applications in imaging of the dispersion relation or topological structure of the energy bands in solids.
