Contribution of Bound States to the Harmonic Generation in Hydrogen at Moderate Laser Intensities

Abstract

Zero-field parabolic states of hydrogen are used as a basis set for the study of low-order harmonic generation in moderately strong laser fields. The disappearance of bound parabolic states with large electric dipole moments in moderately strong fields leads to the simplification of the expression for the total time-dependent dipole moment of the atom. By including only contributions from bound atomic states and with some simplifying assumptions, it is possible to express the total dipole moment by an analytic formula. The present results are compared to the benchmark calculations.
