Role of Autoionizing State in Resonant High-Order Harmonic Generation and Attosecond Pulse Production

We suggest a high-order harmonic generation (HHG) model describing enhancement of the generation efficiency for the harmonic resonant with the transition between the ground and autoionizing state of the generating ion. The results of numerical and analytical calculations based on this model are in good quantitative agreement with the experiments showing HHG enhancement up to 2 orders of magnitude. Moreover, this model reproduces well the essential difference in HHG efficiency for different ions. We show that intense but relatively long attosecond pulses can be generated using the enhanced harmonics.
