“…It was experimentally observed that the laser-induced Stark effect results in the peak shift and, at the same time, peak broadening. This leads to the decrease of the peak heights and decrease of the ionization yield [25]. This is expectable because additional energy is necessary for ionization in order to overcome higher level of the ionization potential.…”

“…The ponderomotive potential is connected with the wiggle motion of charged particles in response to an applied laser field, while the Stark shift with the fact that atom's energy levels are altered in laser field [24]. It was experimentally observed that the energy levels are broadened and shifted due to laser-induced Stark effect [25]. This displacement of the energy level is determined by expression…”

In this paper, we theoretically described the influence of the ponderomotive and the Stark shift on the highorder harmonic generation's transition rate for the cases of noble and alkali atoms in nonrelativistic, linearly polarized laser field. To describe harmonic generation, we used the analytical formula by Frolov et al. which is derived for a weakly bound electron in the tunneling limit and modified it in way to include mentioned effects. We showed that the inclusion of these effects affects the high-order harmonic generation's rate and that for the same conditions, the intensity of the alkali harmonics were considerably weaker compared to the intensity of noble harmonics. Also, the Stark shift for the alkali atoms induces not only decrease of the peak heights i.e. decrease of the ionization yield, but also the peak broadening. At the end, we analyzed the influence of the beam shape on the behavior of obtained theoretical curves. We considered two types of laser field shape, Gaussian and Lorentzian. It is shown that the high-order harmonic generation's rate depends on the spatial distribution of laser beam profiles.
