Strong Field Ionization in Arbitrary Laser Polarizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a numerical method for investigating the non-perturbative quantum mechanical interaction of light with atoms in two dimensions, without a basis expansion. This enables us to investigate intense laser-atom interactions with light of arbitrary polarization without approximation. Results are presented for the dependence of ionization and high harmonic generation on ellipticity seen in recent experiments. Strong evidence of stabilization in circular polarization is found. 32.80.Fb, 32.80.Wr, 42.50.Hz Typeset using REVTEX

Ionization of Hydrogen Atoms by a Low-frequency Laser Field of an Arbitrary Strength
We present a further development of an analytical model for the tunneling ionization of atoms by a lowfrequency laser field of an arbitrary strength, including the strong-field region. The model uses a very accurate approximation of the true ionization barrier/potential in the Schrödinger equation by the effective parabolic barrier/ potential-based on the algorithm suggested by Miller and Good ...
متن کاملStrong field ionization rate for arbitrary laser frequencies.
A simple, analytical, nonrelativistic ionization rate formula for atoms and positive ions in intense ultraviolet and x-ray electromagnetic fields is derived. The rate is valid at arbitrary values of the Keldysh parameter and confirmed by results from ab initio numerical solutions of the single active electron, time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The proposed rate is particularly relevant for e...
متن کاملTunneling Ionization Rates from Arbitrary Potential Wells
We present a practical numerical technique for calculating tunneling ionization rates from arbitrary 1-D potential wells in the presence of a linear external potential by determining the widths of the resonances in the spectral density, ρ(E), adiabatically connected to the field-free bound states. While this technique applies to more general external potentials, we focus on the ionization of el...
متن کامل1 2 O ct 2 00 4 Semiclassical ionization dynamics of the hydrogen molecular ion in an electric field of arbitrary orientation
Semiclassical ionization dynamics of the hydrogen molecular ion in an electric field of arbitrary orientation Abstract. Quasi-static models of barrier suppression have played a major role in our understanding of the ionization of atoms and molecules in strong laser fields. Despite their success, in the case of diatomic molecules these studies have so far been restricted to fields aligned with t...
متن کاملStudy of non-linear interaction of circular laser pulse propagating through hot magnetized plasma in the presence of a planar magnetostatic wiggler
In this paper, the self-focusing property of an intense circularly polarized laser pulse in hot magnetized plasma is investigated theoretically. First, an envelope equation governing the spot-size of the laser beam for both left- and right-hand polarizations has been derived in the presence of a planar wiggler. Furthermore, non-linear dispersion relation of laser pulse is obtained by using Maxw...
