Spectral splitting and quantum path study of high-harmonic generation from a semi-infinite gas cell
We have investigated the spectral splitting of high harmonics generated in a semi-infinite gas cell. By performing an EUV–IR cross-correlation experiment, we are able to use the phase behaviour of the different sub-peaks of each harmonic to identify them with different electronic trajectories. Both microscopic and macroscopic analyses of the spectra effects are made. The identification of a par...
متن کاملPlasmon signatures in high harmonic generation
High harmonic generation in complex multi-electron systems is investigated theoretically. The harmonic spectra exhibit two cutoffs. The first cutoff is in good agreement with the well established, single active electron cutoff law. The second cutoff presents a signature of multi-electron dynamics. The strong laser field excites nonlinear plasmon oscillations. Electrons that are ionized from one...
متن کاملChannel-closing effects in high-order above-threshold ionization and high-order harmonic generation
The strong-field approximation, amended so as to allow for rescattering, is used to calculate high-order above-threshold ionization (ATI) spectra. The single-active-electron binding potential is modelled by a zero-range potential. The emphasis is on enhancements of groups of ATI peaks that occur for sharply defined laser intensities. The enhancements are traced to multiphoton resonance with the...
متن کاملQuantum optical signatures in strong-field laser physics: Infrared photon counting in high-order-harmonic generation
We analytically describe the strong-field light-electron interaction using a quantized coherent laser state with arbitrary photon number. We obtain a light-electron wave function which is a closed-form solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE). This wave function provides information about the quantum optical features of the interaction not accessible by semi-classical theories...
متن کاملQuantum Theory of High Harmonic Generation via Above Threshold Ionization and Stimulated Recombination
Fully quantum treatment explicitly presents the high harmonic generation as a three-stage process: above threshold ionization (ATI) is followed by the continuum electron propagation in a laser field and subsequent stimulated recombination back into the initial state. The contributions of all ATI channels add up coherently. All three stages of the process are described by simple, mostly analytic...
