摘要
The generation of high-order harmonics in diatomic molecules is investigated within the framework of the strong-field approximation. We show that the conventional saddle-point approximation is not suitable for large internuclear distances. An adapted saddle-point method that takes into account the molecular structure is presented. We analyze the predictions for the harmonic-generation spectra in both the velocity and length gauges. At large internuclear separations, we compare the resulting cutoffs with the predictions of the three-step semiclassical mechanism. Good agreement is obtained only by using the adapted saddle-point method combined with the velocity gauge.
