Abstract

The electron behavior in laser field is described in detail. Based on the ID semiclassical model, a2D semiclassical model is proposed analytically using 3D DC-tunneling ionization theory. Lots of harmonic features are explained by this model, including the analytical demonstration of the maximum electron energy 3.17U p Finally, some experimental phenomena such as the increase of the cutoff harmonic energy with the decrease of pulse duration and the “anomalous” fluctuations in the cutoff region are explained by this model.
