Abstract
We demonstrate that the main features of high harmonic generation by ultrashort laser pulses can be explained in terms of the intensity dependent phase of the atomic polarization. Focusing conditions and chirped driving fields may be used to control the harmonic spectrum, while temporal compression provides a unique way to tailor the time profile.Keywords
