Enhancing spin polarization using ultrafast angular streaking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through solution of the multielectron, semirelativistic, time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation, we show that angular streaking produces strongly spin-polarized electrons in a noble gas. The degree spin polarization increases with Keldysh parameter, so streaking---ordinarily applied to investigate tunneling---may be repurposed generate electron bunches. Additionally, explore modifications scheme also enhance polarization.

Semiclassical model for attosecond angular streaking.
Attosecond angular streaking is a new technique to achieve unsurpassed time accuracy of only a few attoseconds. Recently this has been successfully used to set an upper limit on the electron tunneling delay time in strong laser field ionization. The measurement technique can be modeled with either the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) or a more simple semiclassical approach that descri...
متن کاملPolarization and spin angular momentum in periodically rocking superlattice.
The evolution of polarization and spin angular momentum (SAM) in periodically rocking superlattices (PRS) is investigated. Unlike in the birefringent crystal, they exhibit unusual properties. The evolution of polarization shows many remarkable trajectories and the SAM oscillates inside the PRS. The results may find applications in polarization-state or optical SAM control.
متن کاملTransfer of Orbital Angular Momentum Polarization to Nuclear Spin Polarization in External Fields. - a Theoretical Study
The effect of an external magnetic field on the transfer of electron shell to nuclear spin polarization is studied under the condition that the beam traverses the field region adiabatically. We find that the modification of the nuclear spin orientation'is partially caused by a transfer of electronic alignment. Such an effect would not occur under sudden passage conditions.

متن کاملControlling attosecond angular streaking with second harmonic radiation.
High harmonic generation, which produces a coherent burst of radiation every half cycle of the driving field, has been combined with ultrafast wavefront rotation to create a series of spatially separated attosecond pulses, called the attosecond lighthouse. By adding a coherent second harmonic beam with polarization parallel to the fundamental, we decrease the generating frequency from twice per...
متن کاملPolarization-preserving angular shifter.
This study shows that by using a wedge plate the incident direction of light propagation can be rotated as desired while still preserving beam polarization. This study also deduces the basic condition of this preservation of polarization. Two typical wedge plates are analyzed for numerical demonstration. Simulation results verify that a collimated beam with a +45 degrees linear polarization can...
