Modeling time-resolved high-order harmonic generation in ZnO — •Christian Hünecke1, Thomas Lettau2, Ulf Peschel2, and Stefanie Gräfe11Institute for Physical Chemistry, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany — 2Institute for Solid State Theory and Optics, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany

Recent pump-probe experiments with mid-infrared excitations in ZnO have provided evidence for a strong modulation of high-order harmonic spectra by optical phonons [1]. Motivated by these experiments, two approaches to theoretically describe such HHG spectra in the condensed phase are employed, which take into account the strong coupling of the phonons to the electronic degrees of freedom. On the one hand, we use a two-dimensional model system consisting of one electronic and one vibrational spatial degree of freedom, similarly to what is typically done in molecular strong-field physics, however with the difference of periodic boundary conditions for the electron. These results are compared with those obtained with a quasi-particle approach based on a numerical solution of the semiconductor Maxwell-Bloch equations, coupled to an optical phonon mode.
