contents We study the high-harmonic generation in the Aubry-Andre-Harper (AAH) model. The modulating phase of the AAH model is used as a control parameter while preserving the chiral symmetry hosting the zero-energy edge states. The harmonic yield in a particular energy range exhibits a strong dependence on the control parameter with clear separation of the region of topologically trivial and nontrivial phases of the system. The threshold for the harmonic yield is found to serve as an all-optical tool for detecting topological phases. We extended our study with broken chiral symmetry by including the onsite potential. The introduction of the onsite potential lifts the degeneracy in the edge states, which affects the harmonic enhancement. Furthermore, it is also observed that the system's onsite strength can control the HHG yield.
