Propagation effect in atom excitation by ultrashort and intense laser pulses
نویسنده
چکیده
We study hydrogenlike target excitation by a traveling electromagnetic pulse. The spatial size of the pulse l5ct (c is the speed of light and t is the pulse duration! is assumed to be comparable or less than the characteristic size of the initially occupied atomic state. When propagating through the atom, the pulse is shown to transform the electron wave function ‘‘slice by slice.’’ These transformations lead to electron transitions between states with Dm561 which are forbidden in the dipole approximation. The case of linear polarization is considered. It is found that magnetic-level excitation probabilities are small for the hydrogen atom, but can be more significant for the hydrogenlike multicharged ions.

متن کاملHarmonic generation by atoms interacting with intense ultrashort laser pulses
The interaction of intense ultrashort laser pulses with a gas of argon atoms is numerically investigated. The investigation utilizes a model that solves both the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the wave equation self-consistently. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation for single-active electron in the effective static potential and in the potential of electron-laser interaction is sol...
متن کاملCritical power for self-focusing in the case of ultrashort laser pulses
We attempt to evaluate the applicability of the concept of the critical power for self-focusing, originally developed for intense quasi-continuous-wave (cw) beams, to the case of ultra-intense and ultrashort laser pulses propagating in air. Our results show that, unlike in the cw case, no particular value of peak pulse power can be viewed as a sharp demarcation line between linear and nonlinear...
