Complete suppression of the non-dipole drift effect in high harmonic generation

Hailang Wei, Xiaosong Zhu, Pengfei Lan +1

In high harmonic generation (HHG), non-dipole effects become increasingly significant at long driving wavelengths, as the magnetic field leads to a lateral drift of the continuum e…

Strong field induced electron density tide in high harmonic generation from solids

Liang Li, Yinfu Zhang, Pengfei Lan +8

In strong laser fields, the electron density in solids can show up tidal motions caused by the laser ``pulling'' on the electrons, which forms an electron density tide (EDT). Howev…
