Abstract
The generation of harmonics from two mixed laser fields of noncommensurate frequencies is analyzed. We address the case of the hydrogen atom irradiated both by a laser field of wavelength with an intensity and by a tunable laser field of wavelength approximately with an intensity We study the temporal profile and the efficiency of two-color harmonic generation far from the saturation regime. We focus on situations in which an even number of photons are absorbed in association with the emission or absorption of one photon of the second laser. The influence of the second laser on the production of the main harmonic spectrum is also analyzed.
