The study of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in solids by virtue
of intense laser pulses provides a fascinating platform to study ultrafast
electron dynamics as well as material properties. We theoretically
investigate HHG on the basis of massive Dirac Fermions, serving as
a prototypical model for topologically non-trivial matter. The high
harmonic spectra resulting from a numerical solution of the equations
of motion for the density-matrix are supplemented and compared to a
semiclassical saddle-point analysis known as the Lewenstein or simple-
man model[1,2]. We demonstrate that HHG can be interpreted as a
result of interfering classical trajectories generated at different half-cycles
of the laser pulse. A transparent and compact analytical
formula for the high harmonic spectrum in the limit of long pulses is provided and
discussed regarding the range of its validity as well as corrections arising from short waveforms.
