A microscopic theory is presented for multiple harmonic generation (MHG) from a metal surface in the jellium approximation and for laser intensities below the critical value for plasma formation. Calculations are presented for the second and up to the sixth harmonic, in the case of a gold surface and for laser wavelengths 800 and 1064 nm, with femtosecond and picosecond laser pulses. The peaks of...
