contents High-harmonic generation (HHG) is a typical high-order nonlinear optical phenomenon and can be used to probe electronic structures of solids. Here, we investigate the temperature dependence of HHG from Pr_{0.6}Ca_{0.4}MnO_{3} in the range of 7 K to 294 K including the charge ordering (CO) transition and magnetic transition temperatures. The high-harmonic intensity remains almost constant in the high-temperature charge-disordered phase. However, as the temperature is lowered, it starts to gradually increase near the CO transition temperature where an optical gap related to the CO phase appears. The anomalous gap energy dependence resembles the one recently reported in a Mott insulator. We attribute the HHG suppression at high temperatures to the destructive interference among high-harmonic emissions from thermally activated multiple CO configurations. Our results suggest that HHG is a promising tool for probing the fluctuation of local order in strongly correlated systems.
