Synopsis We have developed an ab-initio multi-scale simulation to model light synthesis and propagation through transparent media accounting for the non-linear response of the solid. Using this approach we are able to investigate the build-up of high harmonics induced by strong and short laser pulses along the propagation direction inside a large band-gap dielectric, diamond. Detailed analysis of the results allows to identify minimum requirements necessary to realistically model laser-solid interactions.
