Abstract: It is shown that the production of X-ray emission spectra in the interaction of high-intensity laser radiation with cluster targets may be affected by the bichromatic oscillating electric field arising from the generation of the second harmonic of laser radiation. A technique is proposed for diagnosing harmonic generation in laser – cluster interactions using the spectral line profiles of multiply charged helium ions. The efficiency of second harmonic generation at a laser intensity of 3 × 10¹⁸ W cm^-2 is shown to amount to about 2%.

Keywords: relativistic femtosecond laser pulses, clusters, harmonic generation, X-ray diagnostics.
