We explore high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from a graphene sheet exposed to intense femtosecond laser pulses based on the Lewenstein model. It is demonstrated that the HHG cutoff frequency increases with graphene size up to the classical limit for distant diatomic systems. In contrast to two-center systems, the cutoff frequency remains constant with increasing power of the harmonics as the graphene diameter extends beyond maximal electron excursion. It is shown that the extended nature of the graphene sheet allows for strong HHG signals at maximum cutoff for linearly as well as circularly polarized laser pulses, the latter opening for generation of strong circularly polarized attosecond pulses. High-order harmonic generation (HHG) refers to the nonlinear process of creation of very high overtones of an intense laser pulse with central frequency ω 0 , which interacts with a dilute gas of atoms or molecules. The realization of laser intensities beyond 10 14 W/cm 2 paved the way for theoretical studies [1,2] and experiments [3][4][5] on HHG from a gas of atoms in the early 1990s. Now, after about 20 years of intense HHG research, the three-step model [6] describing HHG within a single-atom picture is well established: The atom (i) ionizes, (ii) gains energy when accelerated by the electric field in the continuum, and (iii) eventually recombines with the ion emitting a photon at odd multiples of the driving-field frequency. Since a single excursion and recombination of an electron takes place within one-half optical cycle, the generated HHG photons define a coherent attosecond highfrequency laser pulse which is a unique tool for probing and imaging of ultrafast dynamics [7][8][9]. In laser-based imaging the HHG spectra have been used for tomographic reconstruction of molecular orbitals withångström spatial resolution [10][11][12].In recent years HHG following interaction with molecules has received particular attention. First, it has been shown that ionization at one molecular center and recombination at another allows for larger maximum harmonic frequencies [13,14]. Second, the two-center structure allows for the generation of attosecond pulses with elliptical polarization as well as even harmonics if the inversion symmetry is broken [15,16]. It has been shown theoretically that a preprepared molecular medium can be used to produce controlled secondary attosecond pulses, when exposed to a seed attosecond XUV pulse [17]. In addition, the study of HHG has been advancing towards molecules of increasing complexity such as benzene rings [18], fullerenes [19], and carbon nanotubes [20], including the investigation of symmetry properties essential for the selective generation of high-order harmonics.The realization of graphene [21], a two-dimensional monolayer of carbon atoms, has received explosive interest in the last decade due to its extraordinary physical properties such * stian.sorngard@ift.uib.no † sigrid.simonsen@ift.uib.no as its superior strength and electronic conductivity.
