    Abstract

    The spatial distribution of high-order harmonic generation from H+2 molecules is theoretically investigated. Results show that the molecular harmonic emission mainly occurs around two H nuclei. When the internuclear distance is relatively small, the harmonic intensities of the two H nuclei are almost the same. The harmonic intensity emitted by the positive-H nucleus is higher than that of the negative-H nucleus with the internuclear distance increasing. With the introduction of the spatial inhomogeneous laser field, the harmonic intensity emitted by the negative-H nucleus is slightly higher than that of the positive-H nucleus when the internuclear distance of H+2 molecules is relatively small. The harmonic intensity emitted by the positive-H nucleus is higher than that of the negative-H nucleus when the internuclear distance is larger. As the spatial position of the space inhomogeneous laser field shifts from negative to positive(from -100 a.u. to 100 a.u.), the harmonic intensity emitted by the positive-H nucleus decreases gradually. The ultrashort attosecond pulses with durations of 66 as and 62 as can be obtained by superposition of harmonics.
