Interplay of polarization geometry and rotational dynamics in high harmonic generation from coherently rotating linear molecule

Abstract

Recent reports on intense-field pump-probe experiments for high harmonic generation from coherently rotating linear molecules, have revealed remarkable characteristic effects of the simultaneous variation of the polarization geometry and the time delay on the high harmonic signals. We analyze the effects and give a unified theoretical account of the experimental observationsComment: 4 pages, 5 figure
