Abstract We present the high-order harmonic generation spectrum from a united two-atom system simultaneously exposed to a fundamental Ti:sapphire and its 33rd harmonic (H33) lasers by numerically solving a one-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation. At a suitable inter-nuclear separation, the harmonic plateau is widened from Ip+3.2Up in the single-atom case up to Ip+5.6Up in the united-atom case. Furthermore, the plateau is heightened in excess of six orders of magnitude by using the combined lasers compared with the case of the fundamental laser alone. Such a scheme can step by step accomplish the following processes: through a single H33 photon resonance transition an appropriate amount of electrons are first populated to an excited state, in which the electrons are easily ionized and subsequently accelerated by the fundamental laser; then they can recombine with the neighbouring atom, so that high-efficiency emissions of the harmonics beyond Ip+3.2Up are successfully realized.
