Numerical studies of efficient macroscopic calculations for high-order harmonic generation.

POSTER

Abstract

High-order harmonic generation occurs when an intense laser pulse illuminates a target. Since the laser interacts with many atoms one must not only consider the microscopic response of individual atoms but solve Maxwell's wave equation in order to describe how radiation propagates through the non-linear medium. We explore various models for both microscopic response and macroscopic propagation.
