Author Correction: Enhanced high harmonic efficiency through phonon-assisted photodoping effect

High-harmonic generation (HHG) has emerged as a central technique in attosecond science and strong-field physics, providing a tool for investigating ultrafast dynamics. However, the microscopic mechanism of HHG in solids is still under debate, and it is unclear how it is modified in the ubiquitous presence of phonons. Here we theoretically investigate the role of collectively coherent vibrations in HHG in a wide range of solids (e.g., hBN, graphite, 2H-MoS2, and diamond). We predict that phonon-assisted high harmonic yields can be significantly enhanced, compared to the phonon-free case – up to a factor of ~20 for a transverse optical phonon in bulk hBN. We also show that the emitted harmonics strongly depend on the character of the pumped vibrational modes. Through state-of-the-art ab initio calculations, we elucidate the physical origin of the HHG yield enhancement – phonon-assisted photoinduced carrier doping, which plays a paramount role in both intraband and interband electron dynamics. Our research illuminates a clear pathway toward comprehending phonon-mediated nonlinear optical processes within materials, offering a powerful tool to deliberately engineer and govern solid-state high harmonics.

Abstract

High-harmonic generation (HHG) has emerged as a central technique in attosecond science and strong-field physics, providing a tool for investigating ultrafast dynamics. However, the microscopic mechanism of HHG in solids is still under debate, and it is unclear how it is modified in the ubiquitous presence of phonons. Here we theoretically investigate the role of collectively coherent vibrations in HHG in a wide range of solids (e.g., hBN, graphite, 2H-MoS2, and diamond). We predict that phonon-assisted high harmonic yields can be significantly enhanced, compared to the phonon-free case – up to a factor of ~20 for a transverse optical phonon in bulk hBN. We also show that the emitted harmonics strongly depend on the character of the pumped vibrational modes. Through state-of-the-art ab initio calculations, we elucidate the physical origin of the HHG yield enhancement – phonon-assisted photoinduced carrier doping, which plays a paramount role in both intraband and interband electron dynamics. Our research illuminates a clear pathway toward comprehending phonon-mediated nonlinear optical processes within materials, offering a powerful tool to deliberately engineer and govern solid-state high harmonics.
