Probing the spectral and temporal structures of high-order harmonic generation in intense laser pulses

چکیده
We present an ab initio three-dimensional quantum study of high-order harmonic generation ~HHG! of atomic H in intense pulsed laser fields. Accurate time-dependent wave functions are obtained by means of the time-dependent generalized pseudospectral method recently developed and wavelet transform is used to perform time-frequency analysis of the resulting HHG power spectra. The results reveal striking details of the spectral and temporal fine structures of HHG, providing insights regarding HHG mechanisms in different energy regimes and benchmark data for testing the validity of existing HHG models.

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 investigate theoretically the high-order harmonic spectrum extension and numerical generation of an intense isolated attosecond pulse from He+ ion irradiated by a two-color laser field. Our simulation results show that the chirp of the fundamental field can control HHG cutoff position. Also, these results show that the envelope forms of two fields are important factors for controlling the re...

Attosecond physics has become one of the most thriving field of science over the last decade. Although high-order harmonic generation from gaseous media is widely used as the source of attosecond pulses, a demand for more intense coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft xray (SXR) radiation sources is growing. The process of high-order harmonic generation from plasma surfaces has attracted a...

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...
متن کاملSpectral Shifts of Nonadiabatic High-Order Harmonic Generation
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is a nonlinear nonperturbative process in ultrashort intense laser-matter interaction. It is the main source of coherent attosecond (1 as = 10 s) laser pulses to investigate ultrafast electron dynamics. HHG has become an important table-top source covering a spectral range from infrared to extreme ultraviolet (XUV). One way to extend the cutoff energy of HHG...
