According to the semi-classical theory of HHG, the maximum emitted photon energy is [Formula: see text]. The ionization potential ([Formula: see text] and ponderomotive energy ([Formula: see text], play important roles in the generated photon energy; therefore, choosing the material and field for HHG is important. Here, investigating the probability of ionization of material in laser and plasmonic field for HHG is important. The ionization probability of noble gases atoms and ions was investigated. Using Ammosov–Delone–Krainov (ADK) model formulas, the parameters for ions and atoms were determined. The results show that helium is the most suitable noble gas atom for HHG in both fields. After ionizing the atoms, the ionization potential increases significantly, and the ionization probability also decreases. Then, ions are better than their corresponding atoms for HHG. Among noble gas atoms and ions, the helium ion is the most suitable for HHG. In addition, the plasmonic field increases the ponderomotive energy and decreases the probability of ionization for all atoms, as shown by the simulation. Then, extreme ultraviolet (XUV) high-energy photon can be efficiently generated using noble gas ions.Read More
