摘要
We have investigated the spectral splitting of high harmonics generated in a semi-infinite gas cell. By performing an EUV-IR cross-correlation experiment, we are able to use the phase behaviour of the different sub-peaks of each harmonic to identify them with different electronic trajectories. Both microscopic and macroscopic analyses of the spectra effects are made. The identification of a particular trajectory with a particular component of the splitting on the basis of a single-atom model is found to be incorrect, while the full macroscopic treatment is in agreement with the experiment.
