Sub-cycle dynamics of electron-hole pairs and high-harmonic generation in bulk diamond subjected to intense femtosecond laser pulse.
We present calculation of photoexcitation and high-harmonic generation in bulk diamond induced by linearly-polarized intense laser pulse of photon energy 1.55 eV, having a time duration of 15 fs and peak laser intensity $I =$ 10 TW/cm$^2$. Following the excitation, the laser pulse creates electron-hole pairs in a localized region near the Brillouin zone center. Intra- and inter-band harmonics are generated with alternating phase during each half-cycle of the driving pulse. The corresponding intra- and inter-band currents are in definite phase relation relative to the driving pulse, reflecting the build-up of coherent superposition of population between valence and conduction bands, and the deceleration of charge carriers in their respective bands.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
