title: Quasi-classical analysis of the dynamics of the high-order harmonic generation from solids.
abstract: We introduce a quasi-classical model in the k space combined with the energy band structure of solids to understand the mechanisms of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) process occurring in a subcycle timescale. This model interprets the multiple plateau structure in HHG spectra well and the linear dependence of cutoff energies on the amplitude of vector potential A0 of the laser fields. It also predicts the emission time of HHG, which agrees well with the results by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE). It provides a scheme to reconstruct the energy dispersion relations in Brillouin zone and to control the trajectories of HHG by varying the shape of laser pulses. This model is instructive for experimental measurements.
