contents In the realm of open quantum systems, steady states and high-harmonic generation (HHG) existing far from equilibrium have become core pillars of ultrafast science. Most solid-state research explores charge HHG with limited investigations into spin degrees of freedom. In this study, we theoretically address spin HHG in the steady state resulting from the terahertz laser-driven spin-phonon coupling in a dissipative dimerized spin-1/2 chain. Instead of directly driving spins using time-dependent magnetic fields, we employ the magnetophononic mechanism, where the laser first drives the lattice, and then the excited lattice subsequently drives the spins. We investigate the role of various model parameters for optimizing HHG. Increasing the laser's amplitude amplifies spin HHG beyond the perturbative regime, enhancing both harmonic amplitudes and orders. We find that configuring the drive frequency far below the spin band yields the highest harmonic order. Additionally, we provide a theory matching the numerical results under weak spin-phonon coupling and propose an experimental procedure to probe the emission spectrum of spin HHG.
