The process of high order harmonics generation in terahertz range in the GaAs quantum wire structure under the effect of external alternating electric field is studied. Nonlinear electron transport in the quantum wire is investigated by means of ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. Size quantization effects are taken into account via the self-consistent solution of corresponding two-dimensional Schrodinger and Poisson equations. The efficiency of high order harmonics generation in the structure is estimated for the lattice temperatures of 77 and 300 K.
