Polarization control of direct (non-sequential) two-photon double ionization of He

چکیده
An ab initio parametrization of the doubly-differential cross section (DDCS) for twophoton double ionization (TPDI) from an s2 subshell of an atom in a S0-state is presented. Analysis of the elliptic dichroism (ED) effect in the DDCS for TPDI of He and its comparison with the same effect in the concurrent process of sequential double ionization shows their qualitative and quantitative differences, thus providing a means to control and to distinguish sequential and non-sequential processes by measuring the relative ED parameter.

Two-photon double ionization of He and H−
Two-photon absorption processes resulting in two-electron ionization of He and H− are calculated using a time-dependent close-coupling expansion on a two-dimensional radial lattice. The ground state atom or ion is subjected to a 10-cycle pulse of linearly polarized light with peak intensities ranging from 1013 to 1016 W cm−2. Probabilities are calculated for onephoton single ionization, two-pho...
متن کاملElliptic and circular dichroism effects in two-photon double ionization of atoms.
An ab initio parametrization of the two-photon double ionization amplitude from an s2 subshell of an atom in a 1S state is presented and used to predict two light polarization effects on photoelectron angular distributions that do not exist in single-photon double ionization: (i) elliptic dichroism and (ii) circular dichroism at equal energy sharing. Estimates for He show large magnitudes for t...
متن کاملDouble ionization of H2 by intense attosecond laser pulses
We present calculations of the double ionization of H2 induced by an intense attosecond laser pulse at a photon energy of 40 eV using the time-dependent close-coupling method within the fixed nuclei approximation. We focus on two-photon absorption processes and examine how the response of the ejected electrons, in particular the singleand the double-energy differential probabilities, is affecte...
متن کاملTwo-photon double ionization of the hydrogen molecule
Cross sections for the removal of both electrons of the hydrogen molecule by two photons are presented at 30 eV photon energy using the time-dependent close-coupling method. Our approach allows detailed information about the dynamics of the ionization process to be extracted, including angular distributions for the outgoing electrons. Analysis of our calculations reveals some similarities to th...
