High harmonic generation in graphene quantum dots

Journal Article · · Journal of Physics. Condensed Matter
Abstract

We study theoretically the generation of high harmonics in disk graphene quantum dots placed in linearly polarized short pulse. The quantum dots (QD) are described within an effective model of the Dirac type and the length gauge was used to describe the interaction of quantum dots with an optical pulse. The generated radiation spectra of graphene quantum dots can be controlled by varying the quantum dot size, i.e. its radius. With increasing the quantum dot radius, the intensities of low harmonics mainly decrease, while the cutoff frequency increases. The sensitivity of the cutoff frequency to the QD size increases with the intensity of the pulse.
