Abstract
Owing to the conservation by the electrons of the memory of their intra-atomic states, a photoionized plasma arising in the mode of suppression of the ionization barrier exhibits a pronounced dependence of the efficiency of generation of the third and fifth harmonics of the pumping field on such states of electrons. For the maximal values of generation efficiency, this dependence is directly proportional to the tenth power of the principal quantum number of excited ns states of electrons.
