Abstract
We present a numerical study of the resonant high harmonic generation by tin ions in an elliptically-polarised laser field along with a simple analytical model revealing the mechanism and main features of this process. We show that the yield of the resonant harmonics behaves anomalously with the fundamental field ellipticity, namely the drop of the resonant harmonic intensity with the fundamental ellipticity is much slower than for high harmonics generated through the nonresonant mechanism. Moreover, we study the polarisation properties of high harmonics generated in elliptically-polarised field and show that the ellipticity of harmonics near the resonance is significantly higher than for ones far off the resonance. This introduces a prospective way to create a source of the quasi-monochromatic coherent XUV with controllable ellipticity potentially up to circular.
