We investigated the dynamical symmetry related to the conservation of torus-knot angular momentum (TKAM) in attosecond bursts from high harmonic generation. In particular, we discuss the characterization of the TKAM for bicircular Laguerre-Gaussian driving beams. Since the orbital angular momentum of the emitted harmonics is not a good quantum number anymore, a different kind of angular momentum is required to characterize them, namely the TKAM. We developed an intuitive model which relates the characteristic parameters τ and γ of the TKAM to the geometry of a torus knot. This is done for both the driving beam and the harmonic radiation. In addition, we found a geometric relation between τ and γ. We hope that our contribution can help to get intuitively access to this form of angular momentum. Furthermore, TKAM maid help to improve the spectroscopical classification of high harmonics driven by bicircular beams.
