Scaling laws for photoelectron holography in the midinfrared wavelength regime.

چکیده
Midinfrared strong-field laser ionization offers the promise of measuring holograms of atoms and molecules, which contain both spatial and temporal information of the ion and the photoelectron with subfemtosecond temporal and angstrom spatial resolution. We report on the scaling of photoelectron holographic interference patterns with the laser pulse duration, wavelength, and intensity. High-resolution holograms for the ionization of metastable xenon atoms by 7-16 μm light from the FELICE free electron laser are presented and compared to semiclassical calculations that provide analytical insight.

Scaling of wave-packet dynamics in an intense midinfrared field.
A theoretical investigation is presented that examines the wavelength scaling from near-visible (0.8 micro m) to midinfrared (2 micro m) of the photoelectron distribution and high harmonics generated by a "single" atom in an intense electromagnetic field. The calculations use a numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) in argon and the strong-field approximation in he...
متن کاملDependence of hard x-ray yield on laser pulse parameters in the wavelength-cubed regime
Conversion efficiency and electron temperature scaling laws are experimentally studied in the wavelength-cubed (l) regime, where a single-wavelength focus allows low energy pulses incident on a Mo target to produce x rays with excellent efficiency and improved spatial coherence. Focused intensity is varied from 2310 to 2310 W/cm. Conversion efficiency and electron temperature are best described...
متن کاملComment on "Universality of returning electron wave packet in high-order harmonic generation with midinfrared laser pulses".
We show that a returning electron wave packet in high-order harmonic generation (HHG) with midinfrared laser pulses converges to a universal limit for a laser wavelength above about 3 μm. The results are consistent among the different methods: a numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, the strong-field approximation, and the quantum orbits theory. We further analyze how th...
متن کاملUnraveling nonadiabatic ionization and Coulomb potential effect in strong-field photoelectron holography
Strong field photoelectron holography has been proposed as a means for interrogating the spatial and temporal information of electrons and ions in a dynamic system. After ionization, part of the electron wave packet may directly go to the detector (the reference wave), while another part may be driven back and scatters off the ion(the signal wave). The interference hologram of the two waves may...
متن کاملScaling of the low-energy structure in above-threshold ionization in the tunneling regime: theory and experiment.
A calculation of the second-order (rescattering) term in the S-matrix expansion of above-threshold ionization is presented for the case when the binding potential is the unscreened Coulomb potential. Technical problems related to the divergence of the Coulomb scattering amplitude are avoided in the theory by considering the depletion of the atomic ground state due to the applied laser field, wh...
