Theoretical exploration of the interference minimum in molecular high-order harmonic generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interference minimum in the molecular high-order harmonic generation is studied by numerically solving the non-Born-Oppenheimer approximation time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The results show that two kinds of interference minima appear in the high-order harmonic spectrum when the hydrogen molecular ion is exposed to the laser pulse. Furthermore, by adjusting wavelength of the laser as well as initial condition of nucleus, it is found that two kinds of interference minima are ascribed to the molecular structure and the electronic dynamics behavior induced by the laser field, respectively. Besides, the time-frequency distributions and the electron wave packet distributions are calculated to better understand the mechanism of the minimum. PACS: 42.65.Ky, 33.80.Rv, 42.25.Hz

Measurement of the polarization of high-order harmonics from aligned N(2) molecules by spatial interferometry.
The polarization of high-harmonics from aligned N(2) molecules was measured by observing the visibility of spatial interference between two high-harmonics generated separately. The minimum visibility was observed at an angle of 60 degrees between the polarization of the harmonic generation laser field and the molecular orientation. In this case, the angular shift of harmonic polarization is 15 ...

We report theoretical calculations of the effect of the multiple-orbital contribution in high-order harmonic generation (HHG) of aligned CO2 with the inclusion of macroscopic propagation of harmonic fields in the medium. Our results show very good agreement with recent experiments for the dynamics of the minimum in HHG spectra as laser intensity or alignment angle changes. Calculations are carr...

high harmonic generation is a useful tool for the generation of short, intense attosecond pulses. In order to simulate high harmonic generation, we performed a numerical solution to the time dependent Schrödinger equation. by considering dipole approximation, we predicted generation of a 53 attosecond pulse. In order to see the time and frequency of emission of attosecond pulse, we exploit...

We demonstrate a new method to investigate the origin of spectral structures in high-harmonic generation. We report detailed measurements of high-harmonic spectra in aligned nitrogen and carbon dioxide molecules. Varying the wavelength and intensity of the generating laser field, we show that the minimum in aligned N2 molecules is nearly unaffected, whereas the minimum in aligned CO2 molecules ...
متن کاملGeneration of High Order Harmonics from H2+ Molecule Ion by Using Homogenous and Inhomogeneous Laser Fields
We solved one dimensional Schrodinger equation in a H2+ molecular environment by using 3 femtosecond homogeneous and nonhomogeneous laser fields. In homogeneous case, we found out that larger inter nuclear distances result in earlier ionization and also more instability in the wave packet. We deducted that the more the instability is, the more modulated the power spectrum will be. So, by choosi...
