We investigate high-order harmonic generations by controlling various quantum paths of harmonics in an infrared laser field which combines a low-frequency pulse. Both classical theory and the quantum wavelet transform method are used to understand the physics of harmonics. By adjusting the carrier envelope phase of the fundamental field, the intensities of harmonic spectra increase and the harmonics in the plateau become regular. Attosecond pulses each with a duration of 58 as are obtained directly by compressing the harmonics, and with phase compensation an isolated attosecond pulse less than 30 as can be generated.
The accurate theoretical expressions of the mean field operator associated with the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree-Fock (MCTDHF) method are presented in this paper. By using a theoretical formula, derived without approxima- tion, we can study the multi-electron correlation dynamics accurately. Some illustrative calculations are carried out to check the accuracy of the expression of the mean field operator. The results of illustrative calculations indicate the reliability of the accurate expression of the mean field operator. This theoretical calculation method for the mean field operator may be of considerable help in future studies of the correlated dynamics of many-electron systems in strong laser fields.
