Controlling Nonsequential Double Ionization in Two-Color Circularly Polarized Femtosecond Laser Fields.
Atoms undergoing strong-field ionization in two-color circularly polarized femtosecond laser fields exhibit unique two-dimensional photoelectron trajectories and can emit bright circularly polarized extreme ultraviolet and soft-x-ray beams. In this Letter, we present the first experimental observation of nonsequential double ionization in these tailored laser fields. Moreover, we can enhance or...
متن کاملEvidence for rescattering in intense, femtosecond laser interactions with a negative ion.
It is now well established that energetic electron emission, nonsequential ionization, and high harmonic generation, produced during the interaction of intense, femtosecond laser pulses with atoms (and atomic positive ions), can be explained by invoking rescattering of the active electron in the laser field, the so-called rescattering mechanism. In contrast for negative ions, the role of rescat...
متن کاملun 2 00 3 Electron rescattering and the fragmentation dynamics of molecules in strong optical fields
We have probed the fragmentation dynamics in a bent triatomic molecule, water , a non-planar molecule, methanol, and a planar ring-structured molecule, benzene, using 100 fs duration pulses of linearly and circularly polarized, in-frared, intensity-selected laser light. At laser intensities larger than 10 15 W cm −2 , the yield of singly and multiply charged atomic fragments from these molecule...
متن کاملTomographic Reconstructions of Photoelectron Distributions from Strong-Field Ionization in Two-Color Circularly Polarized Laser Fields
In this experiment, we propagate superposed 800 nm and 400 nm circularly polarized driving laser fields and interact the combined field with argon gas—in doing so, we demonstrate strong field ionization from this interaction. We then use velocity map imaging and tomographic reconstruction techniques to look at the resulting photoelectron angular distributions. From this, we discover that if the...
متن کاملNonsequential Double Ionization by Counterrotating Circularly Polarized Two-Color Laser Fields.
We report on nonsequential double ionization of Ar by a laser pulse consisting of two counterrotating circularly polarized fields (390 and 780 nm). The double-ionization probability depends strongly on the relative intensity of the two fields and shows a kneelike structure as a function of intensity. We conclude that double ionization is driven by a beam of nearly monoenergetic recolliding elec...
