High-order harmonic analysis of anisotropic petahertz photocurrents in solids

Abstract

Polarization maps of high-order harmonics are shown to enable a full vectorial characterization of petahertz electron currents generated in a crystalline solid by an ultrashort laser driver. As a powerful resource of this methodology, analysis of energy–momentum dispersion landscapes, defined by the electron band structure, can help identify, as our analysis shows, special directions within the Brillouin zone that can provide a preferable basis for polarization-sensitive high-harmonic mapping of anisotropic petahertz photocurrents in solids.
