Abstract
In harmonic generation experiments carried out at intensities above 1013 W cm-2, the effect of ionisation becomes significant. The presence of free electrons introduces a space-time dependent change of the refractive index of the medium. The important role of the medium ionisation has been recently discussed in ref. 1,2,3 by including in the phase-matching integral the contribution of the electrons to the refractive index.
