Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The quantum paths that satisfy the stationary phase condition of the Dirac–Feynmann path integral provide an intuitive picture in understanding extreme nonlinear optical phenomena, such as high-order harmonic generation (HHG) and high-order terahertz sideband generation (HSG). Each order of high-order harmonics or sidebands can be essentially captured by a few quantum paths. In contrast to HHG, the process of HSG can be tailored delicately via controlling the excitation of the first step, which paves a way to regulate the recollisions of quantum paths. We report a scheme that invokes two beams of exciting fields, and their frequency difference is the even multiple of the driving-field frequency. We find that the number of spectroscopic dips is determined by the ratio of frequency difference to the driven-field frequency. And the positions of spectroscopic dips could be tuned elaborately by changing the initial phase difference between two exciting laser fields. This finding reveals a methodology to directly measure the amplitude of Feynman paths that contribute the high-order sidebands in the extreme nonlinear optics regime.
