A new method of extracting interatomic separation of CO2 is proposed based on using the dipole moment extracted from high-order harmonic generation (HHG) spectra. For this method, we show that the Bragg’s equations related to the electron interference effect can be obtained from the zero-points of the dipole moment. Using not only HHG with parallel polarization but also HHG with perpendicular one we discover an error-compensation effect which means that the errors of interatomic separation extracted from the two components of dipole moment are always opposite in the sign. Therefore, the final result of the interatomic separation obtained by the proposed method has a very high accuracy with the systematic error less than 1%.
