Sickmiller and R. R. Jones<br/>We have examined high-order harmonic generation from transiently aligned room-temperature N_{2} molecules in a hollow-core waveguide. We identify alignment-dependent propagation effects which can mask the single-molecule response. In particular, we observe an intensity-dependent reversal in the harm...<br/><img src="http://prola.aps.org/graphics/rapid30x30.gif" width="30" height="30" alt="Rapid Communication"/><br/>[Phys. Rev.
