Abstract
The long standing issue of separating resonant from non-resonant processes in extreme nonlinear optics is resolved. The theoretical formalism is applied to high harmonic generation (HHG) in solids and reveals a deeper view into the dominant laser and material dependent mechanisms. Mid-infrared driven HHG in semiconductors is dominated by the resonant interband current. As a result of the dynamic Stark shift, virtual processes gain in importance in near-infrared driven HHG in dielectrics. Finally, our analysis identifies limitations of microscopic one-electron-hole theories.
