Abstract :
A general theory of molecular high harmonic generation in intense femtosecond pump-probe experiments is presented. It provides explicit analytical expressions correlating the harmonic signals with the dynamical alignment of linear molecules. Recent experimental data from pump-probe experiments are analyzed and a unified interpretation of the diverse observations is given.
