چکیده

We describe the roles of multiple electronic continua in high-harmonic generation from aligned molecules. First, we show how the circularity of emitted harmonics tracks the interplay of different electronic continua participating in the nonlinear response. Second, we show that the interplay of different continua can lead to large variations of harmonic phases. Finally, we show how multiple electronic continua allow one to shape the polarization of high harmonics and attosecond pulses.

The multielectron ionization dynamics underlying attosecond strong-field spectroscopies.

Subcycle strong-field ionization (SFI) underlies many emerging spectroscopic probes of atomic or molecular attosecond electronic dynamics. Extending methods such as attosecond high harmonic generation spectroscopy to complex polyatomic molecules requires an understanding of multielectronic excitations, already hinted at by theoretical modeling of experiments on atoms, diatomics, and triatomics....

Multi-channel electronic and vibrational dynamics in polyatomic resonant high-order harmonic generation

High-order harmonic generation in polyatomic molecules generally involves multiple channels of ionization. Their relative contribution can be strongly influenced by the presence of resonances, whose assignment remains a major challenge for high-harmonic spectroscopy. Here we present a multi-modal approach for the investigation of unaligned polyatomic molecules, using SF6 as an example. We combi...

Observation of laser-induced electronic structure in oriented polyatomic molecules

All attosecond time-resolved measurements have so far relied on the use of intense near-infrared laser pulses. In particular, attosecond streaking, laser-induced electron diffraction and high-harmonic generation all make use of non-perturbative light-matter interactions. Remarkably, the effect of the strong laser field on the studied sample has often been neglected in previous studies. Here we ...

Imaging the Ultrafast Electronic Dynamics of Polyatomic Molecules: Molecular Frame Photoelectron Imaging, Quantum Control, Attosecond Strong Field Physics

The most general molecular dynamic processes involve the coupled flow of both valence electronic charge and vibrational energy. Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (TRPES) is a powerful probe of ultrafast non-adiabatic dynamics in polyatomic molecules, as it simultaneously observes both electronic and vibrational dynamics [1]. The most detailed information, however, obtains from observing ...

In vitro study of drug-protein interaction using electronic absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy

In the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. Considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. So far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. In these studies, use of spectroscopic method...
