We investigated high-order harmonic generation from atom irradiated by a bichromatic counter-rotating circularly polarized laser pulse by numerically solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. It is found that, the minimum energy position of the harmonic spectrum and the non-integer order optical radiation are greatly discrepant for different atomic potentials. By analyzing the quantum trajectory of the harmonic emission, the discrepancy in the harmonic spectra from different potentials can be attributed to the action of the potential on the ionized electron. In addition, based on the influence of the driving light intensity on the overall intensity and ellipticity of higher order harmonics, the physical conditions for generating a high-intensity circularly polarized harmonic can be obtained.
