Abstract
A simple surface current model is proposed for studying harmonic gener ation by a short-pulse high-intensity circularly polarized laser irrad iating a solid target normally. Exact relativistic electron dynamics i s taken into account. It is found that high harmonics peaked at direct ions normal to that of incidence are efficiently generated.
