Polarization-state-resolved high-harmonic spectroscopy of solids

High-harmonic generation in solids is related to the carrier dynamics and can be used to probe dynamic processes. Here, Klemke et al. show that the polarization states of high harmonics generated from silicon and quartz are determined by the crystal symmetries but can also be dynamically controlled.
