The metastable hadronic helium atoms in microseconds lifetime are available in laboratory, and two-photon spectroscopy was reported recently. This exotic helium atom has an electron in the ground state and a negative hadron rotating around the helium nucleus. We theoretically study the excitation on hadronic helium by femtosecond pulse and elucidate the influence of moleculelike structure and rotation behavior on the photoelectron spectra and high-order harmonic generation. Because of the moleculelike structure, the electronic ground state consists of several angular orbitals. These angular orbitals can enhance photoelectron spectra at high energies, and also influence the harmonic generation spectra considerably. In particular, the harmonic spectra can occur at even harmonic orders because of the transition between these angular orbitals and continuum states. On the other side, the rotation behavior of hadron can induce a frequency shift in the harmonic spectra. The magnitude of the frequency shift depends on the orbiting speed of the hadron, which is considerable because the rotation period is in a few femtoseconds, a time scale that is comparable to that of infrared laser and is feasible in current laser experiments.

When graphene is subjected to a strong light field, its nonlinear optical response allows only odd harmonic emissions because of a centrosymmetric structure. We demonstrate that this limitation no longer holds when the generation of an electric current density is considered within a quantum theory because of the involvement of the Rabi oscillation in the nonlinear optical response. By transforming the time-dependent Dirac equation into the length gauge, the Rabi frequency in graphene can be defined, allowing the identification of the Rabi coupling effect on the current-induced harmonic spectra. In particular, a peak at the spectral position of the second harmonic of the incident light can be generated in graphene when the intensity of the incident light causes the Rabi frequency to become comparable with the frequency of the incident light, which was demonstrated in ZnO with a measurement of carrier-envelope-offset frequency [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 217404 (2003)]. Moreover, as the light intensity increases, we show that a broadband harmonic spectrum is generated and that a compact electron distribution caused by multiphoton absorptions is produced because of highly nonlinear effects associated with the Rabi oscillation.
