| Abstract: | Response of the wave packet of a one-dimensional Coulomb atom
to an intense laser field is calculated using the symmetrized
split operator fast Fourier method. The high-order harmonic
generation (HHG) of the initial state separately being the ground and excited states
is presented. When the hardness parameter \alpha in the soft
Coulomb potential V(x)=-1/\sqrt{x^2+\alpha} is chosen to be small
enough, the so-called hard Coulomb potential
V(x)=-1/|x| can be obtained. It is well known that the hard one-dimensional Coulomb atom
has an unstable ground
state with an energy eigenvalue of $\sim0.5$ and it
has no states corresponding to physical states in the true atoms, and
has the first and second excited states being degenerate. The parity effects on the HHG
can be seen from the first and second excited states of the hard
one-dimensional Coulomb atom. The HHG spectra of the excited states
from both the soft and hard Coulomb atom models are shown to have more
complex structures and to be much stronger than the corresponding
HHG spectrum of the ground state of the soft Coulomb model with
$\alpha=2$ in the same laser field. Laser-induced non-resonant
one-photon emission is also observed. |
