Abstract

We report on light scattering in multiphoton ionization (MPI) computer experiments at high laser intensity. The plateau and cut-off features recently reported in laboratory experiments on high-order harmonic generation by McPherson, et al., and by Ferray, et al., are corroborated. We report scattered light spectra in four different cases and exhibit the corresponding ATI photoelectron spectra. We propose a connection between ATI and high-order harmonics.
