Alignment dependence of high - order harmonic generation from CO
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) from aligned CO 2 is studied within the framework of the strong-field approximation (SFA). Our results are in qualitative agreements with recent pump–probe experiments. The experimentally observed inverted modulation in HHG signals as a function of pump–probe delay time has previously been attributed to the quantum interference from the two oxygen centres. Our results, however, indicate that this is not necessary for the inverted modulation. The angular dependence of the HHG and the evolution of the HHG yield as functions of delay time are influenced strongly by the depletion of the ground state and, therefore, are sensitive to the probe laser intensity.

Role of molecular orbital symmetry on the alignment dependence of high-order harmonic generation with molecules
It is shown that the alignment dependence of the yields of high-order harmonic generation sHHGd from molecules by intense lasers is governed by the orbital symmetry of the outermost electronssd. For N2, with its outermost sg electron, the HHG yield is maximal when the molecules are aligned with the laser polarization direction, in agreement with the recent experiment of Itatani et al. fNature 4...

We illustrate how the sub-10fs lasers and attosecond XUV pulses can be used to probe the structure of molecules. Experimental results of the alignment dependence of the ionization rates and the high-order harmonic generation yields are shown to reflect the structure of the highest occupied molecular orbital. We also show that the vibrational wave packet of simple molecules can be mapped accurat...

In order to see the time and frequency of emission of attosecond pulse, we exploit...

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...
