Real-space perspective on dephasing in solid-state high harmonic generation

We develop and demonstrate a fully real-space perspective on high harmonic generation (HHG) in crystals. Due to the Wannier-Stark localization induced on subcycle timescales in the presence of a strong field, real-space descriptions are natural for strongly driven solids. Our approach allows us to a...

description We develop and demonstrate a fully real-space perspective on high harmonic generation (HHG) in crystals.

We develop a physically transparent model of real-space dephasing which relates its rate to the distance between different sites in a laser-driven lattice.
