Abstract
It was found experimentally with increasing the laser ellipticity that the intensity of the 45th order harmonic from decreases slower than that from The difference is attributed to the fact that the recombination probability is suppressed for but enhanced for in a linearly polarized field. Simulation results obtained by extending the Lewenstein model to molecules agreed qualitatively with the experimental discoveries.
