Quantitative rescattering theory of high-order harmonic generation for polyatomic molecules
We report applications of the quantitative rescattering theory (QRS) for calculation of high-order-harmonic generation (HHG) from polyatomic molecules in ultrashort linearly polarized intense laser pulses, using the example of the CCl4 molecule. In particular, we present a detailed analysis and a treatment for the phase of the electron returning wave packet, which recollides with the parent mol...
متن کاملHigh-order-harmonic generation from molecular isomers with midinfrared intense laser pulses
We present theoretical calculations of high-order-harmonic generation (HHG) from stereoisomers of 1,2dichloroethylene (C2H2Cl2) and 2-butene (C4H8) based on the quantitative rescattering theory. Our results show that the HHG spectra from these cis and trans isomers with intense midinfrared laser pulses are clearly distinguishable, even when the molecules are randomly oriented, in good agreement...
متن کاملExploration of laser-driven electron-multirescattering dynamics in high-order harmonic generation
Multiple rescattering processes play an important role in high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in an intense laser field. However, the underlying multi-rescattering dynamics are still largely unexplored. Here we investigate the dynamical origin of multiple rescattering processes in HHG associated with the odd and even number of returning times of the electron to the parent ion. We perform fully...
متن کاملRetrieval of target photorecombination cross sections from high-order harmonics generated in a macroscopic medium
We investigate high-order harmonic generation HHG in a thin macroscopic medium by solving Maxwell’s equation using microscopic single-atom induced dipole moment calculated from the recently developed quantitative rescattering QRS theory. We show that macroscopic HHG yields calculated from QRS compared well with those obtained from solving the single-atom time-dependent Schrödinger equation but ...
متن کاملTheory of high harmonic generation for probing time-resolved large-amplitude molecular vibrations with ultrashort intense lasers.
We present a theory that incorporates the vibrational degrees of freedom in a high-order harmonic generation (HHG) process with ultrashort intense laser pulses. In this model, laser-induced time-dependent transition dipoles for each fixed molecular geometry are added coherently, weighted by the laser-driven time-dependent nuclear wave packet distribution. We show that the nuclear distribution c...
