High-order harmonic generation by a bicircular field, which consists of two coplanar counter-rotating circularly polarized fields of frequency $r\omega$ and $s\omega$ ($r$ and $s$ are integers), is investigated for a polyatomic molecule. This field possesses dynamical symmetry, which can be adjusted to the symmetry of the molecular Hamiltonian and used to investigate the molecular symmetry. For polyatomic molecules having the $C_{r+s}$ symmetry only the harmonics $n=q(r+s)\pm r$, $q=1,2,\ldots… 29 Citations ## Figures and Tables from this paper Molecules in a bicircular strong laser field • Physics, Chemistry • 2018 Strong-field ionization of nonlinear planar triatomic molecules by a bicircular laser field is analyzed within the improved molecular strong-field approximation.

It is demonstrated that when the second harmonic either precedes or is more intense than the fundamental field, the weak effects of dynamical symmetry breaking caused by finite pulse duration are amplified by electrons trapped in Rydberg orbits (i.e., Freeman resonances), and that the forbidden harmonic lines are a witness of this.
