Carrier-envelope phase dependence of nonsequential double ionization of H2 by few-cycle laser pulses
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the dependence of double ionization of H2 molecules on the carrierenvelope phase of a few-cycle laser pulse in the nonsequential double ionization regime. For short pulses at low intensities the strong dependence is due to the return energy of the rescattering electrons and the result may be used for determining the absolute value of the carrier envelope phase.

Nonsequential double ionization with few-cycle laser pulses.
We investigate differential electron momentum distributions in nonsequential double ionization with linearly polarized, few-cycle pulses, using a classical model based on a laser-assisted inelastic (e(-),2e(-)) rescattering mechanism. These yields, as functions of the momentum components parallel to the laser polarization, are highly asymmetric and strongly influenced by the phase difference be...

We report differential measurements of Ar++ ion momentum distributions from nonsequential double ionization in phase-stabilized few-cycle laser pulses. The distributions depend strongly on the carrier-envelope (CE) phase. Via control over the CE phase one is able to direct the nonsequential double-ionization dynamics. Data analysis through a classical model calculation reveals that the influenc...
متن کاملH2 Double Ionization with Few-Cycle Laser Pulses
The temporal dynamics of double ionization of H2 has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically with few–cycle laser pulses. The main observables are the proton spectra associated to the H+ + H+ fragmentation channel. The model is based on the time–dependent Schrödinger equation and treats on the same level the electronic and nuclear coordinates. Therefore it allows to follow the u...
متن کاملQuantitative rescattering theory for nonsequential double ionization of atoms by intense laser pulses
Laser-induced electron recollisions are fundamental to many strong field phenomena in atoms and molecules. Using the recently developed quantitative rescattering theory, we demonstrate that the nonsequential double ionization NSDI of atoms by lasers can be obtained quantitatively in terms of inelastic collisions of the target ions with the free returning electrons where the latter are explicitl...
متن کاملNonsequential Double Ionization of Atoms in Strong Laser Pulses
It is now possible to produce laser pulses with reproducible pulse shape and controlled carrier envelope phase. It is discussed how that can be explored in double ionisation studies. To this end we solve numerically the Schrödinger equation for a limited dimensionality model which nevertheless treats electron repulsion qualitatively correctly and allows to study correlation effects due to the C...
