We show that high-harmonic spectra obtained experimentally in this parameter range also display anomalous features, which are difficult to understand in the framework of the three-step, semiclassical model. The results of a systematic study of these high harmonics generated in argon, xenon, and krypton are presented. From the experimental curves, complex high-order harmonic generation phenomena are discussed. %G English %L hal-00522729 %U https://hal-polytechnique.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00522729 %~ X %~ ENSTA %~ CNRS %~ X-LOA %~ X-DEP %~ X-DEP-PHYS %~ PARISTECH %~ ENSTA_LOA
