Experimental Evidence of Sensitivity of the High Harmonic Generation to Hydrogen Bonding.

The influence of hydrogen bonding and the associated attosecond hole delocalization on the high-order harmonic generation (HHG) process is investigated with the help of hydrogen-bonded binary mixture of acetonitrile and chloroform solvent vapors. We observe a strong enhancement of the HH yield compared to the results obtained with pure samples. We propose that the observed increase of HHG efficiency is due to the presence of hydrogen-bonded binary mixture.
