Abstract
High Order Harmonics are a powerful tool to unveil the inner dynamics of plasmas by studying their propagation. However, being the plasma an inhomogeneous medium, it is desirable to have a 3D description of the interaction of HOH with the ions. The 3D Maxwell-Bloch code DAGON, developed at the Instituto de Fusión Nuclear will allow to study the full spatio-temporal structure of amplified HOH.
