title: Application of smooth exterior scaling method to calculate the high harmonic generation spectra.
abstract: We have calculated the high harmonic generation spectra from Xe atom by imposing different kinds of absorbing potentials. Owing to the center of inversion of the model system, one should get odd harmonics only. However, using negative imaginary potentials as an absorbing boundary condition, we have also got even order harmonics along with the odd order harmonics. These non-odd order harmonics are generated due to the spurious reflections occurring at the grid boundary. On the contrary, when smooth exterior scaling methods are used as an absorbing boundary condition, only odd order harmonics are obtained. Hence, smooth exterior scaling methods impose proper absorbing boundary condition.
