Abstract
Recently several techniques demonstrated the production of elliptically polarized high harmonics. One of these techniques consists of the interaction in a noble gas of two-color laser beams having orthogonal linear polarizations. Here we present the theoretical explanation of such a result observed in Lambert et al. [Nat. Commun. 6, 6167 (2015)]. Numerical calculations based on the nonperturbative light-atom interaction theory reproduce well the experimental data. The degree of polarization is analyzed for different harmonic orders and found to be high. With the help of a simplified theoretical model it is shown that the degree of harmonic ellipticity depends mainly on the population of atomic state sublevels with different angular momentum projections.
最近有几种技术证明了椭圆极化高次谐波的产生。其中一种技术是利用具有正交线性偏振的双色激光束在惰性气体中的相互作用。在这里，我们提出了Lambert等人观察到的这种结果的理论解释[Nat. common . 6,6167(2015)]。基于非微扰光原子相互作用理论的数值计算较好地再现了实验数据。分析了不同谐波阶的极化度，发现极化度较高。借助于简化的理论模型，证明了调和椭圆度的大小主要取决于具有不同角动量投影的原子态亚能级的占比。
