Abstract
We have experimentally determined the harmonic-generation cutoff as a function of the laser intensity in neon using an intense, short-pulse Ti:sapphire laser. The experimental cutoff is lower than that obtained in single-atom calculations. Using a simple quantum-mechanical approa ch to harmonic generation valid at high intensity, we show that the di fference is due to the effect of propagation.
