Quantitative rescattering theory of high-order harmonic generation for polyatomic molecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 molecular ion to emit high-energy photons. Our results show that Cooper-type minimum structures in the molecular photoionization cross section lead to quite distinguishable minima in the HHG spectra, even for unaligned polyatomic molecules.

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...
متن کاملMeasurement of electronic structure from high harmonic generation in non-adiabatically aligned polyatomic molecules
We have explored the use of laser driven high-order harmonic generation to probe the electronic structure and symmetry of conjugated polyatomic molecular systems. We have investigated non-adiabatically aligned samples of linear symmetric top, nonlinear symmetric top and asymmetric top molecules, and we have observed signatures of their highest occupied molecular orbitals in the dependence of ha...
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 کاملTime-resolved dynamics in N2O4 probed using high harmonic generation.
The attosecond time-scale electron-recollision process that underlies high harmonic generation has uncovered extremely rapid electronic dynamics in atoms and diatomics. We showed that high harmonic generation can reveal coupled electronic and nuclear dynamics in polyatomic molecules. By exciting large amplitude vibrations in dinitrogen tetraoxide, we showed that tunnel ionization accesses the g...
