Electron Excitation Rate in Dielectrics Under an Intense Elliptically Polarized Laser Field

Trajectory-resolved Coulomb focusing in tunnel ionization of atoms with intense, elliptically polarized laser pulses.

In strong-field light-matter interactions, the strong laser field dominates the dynamics. However, recent experiments indicate that the Coulomb force can play an important role as well. In this Letter, we have studied the photoelectron momentum distributions produced from noble gases in elliptically polarized, 800 nm laser light. By performing a complete mapping of the three-dimensional electro...

Single attosecond pulse generation with intense mid-infrared elliptically polarized laser pulses.

We have studied theoretically high-harmonic-order and single attosecond pulse generation with elliptically polarized laser pulses at wavelengths ranging from the visible to the mid-infrared. Results of ab initio simulations of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation show that the ellipticity dependence of the high-harmonic signal intensifies with increasing wavelength of the driving pulse and s...

High-order-harmonic-generation spectroscopy with an elliptically polarized laser field

Multiphoton detachment of a negative ion by an elliptically polarized, monochromatic laser field

The quasistationary quasienergy state approach (QQES) is applied to the analysis of partial (n-photon) decay rates and angular distributions (ADs) of photoelectrons produced by an elliptically polarized laser field. The problem is formulated for a weakly bound electron with an energy E0 in the threedimensional δ-model potential (which approximates the short-range potential of a negative ion) in...

Numerical Simulation of an Intense Isolated Attosecond Pulse by a Chirped Two-Color Laser Field

We investigate theoretically the high-order harmonic spectrum extension and numerical generation of an intense isolated attosecond pulse from He+ ion irradiated by a two-color laser field. Our simulation results show that the chirp of the fundamental field can control HHG cutoff position. Also, these results show that the envelope forms of two fields are important factors for controlling the re...
