Multislit interference patterns in high-order harmonic generation in C60
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study high-order harmonic generation in C60 molecules interacting with a linearly polarized intense short laser pulse at nearand mid-infrared wavelengths, using an extension of the so-called three-step or Lewenstein model to the molecular case. The results exhibit modulations in the plateaus of the spectra at the longer wavelengths, which are present for ensembles of aligned as well as randomly oriented fullerenes. The analysis of the results show that the minima can be explained by a multislit interference effect arising from the contributions of the 60 atomic centers to the dipole moment. Good agreement between the positions of the minima in the spectra obtained in the length gauge are found with those of the recombination matrix element, but not for those in the velocity gauge calculations. We further use a simple spherical model to analyze how geometrical information, such as the radius of the fullerene cage, can be obtained from the interference pattern in the harmonic spectra.

Time Frequency Analysis of Higher Harmonic Generation in a Three Color Laser Pulse
high harmonic generation is a useful tool for the generation of short, intense attosecond pulses. In order to simulate high harmonic generation, we performed a numerical solution to the time dependent Schrödinger equation. by considering dipole approximation, we predicted generation of a 53 attosecond pulse. In order to see the time and frequency of emission of attosecond pulse, we exploit...

We investigate the ionization of icosahedral fullerenes (C20, C60, C80, and C180) in an intense laser pulse using the S-matrix theory. The results obtained are in excellent agreement with the recent observations of unexpectedly high saturation intensities of the Buckminster fullerene and its multiply charged ions. Our analysis strongly suggests that the related phenomenon of suppressed ionizati...

We investigate high-order harmonic generation in a sequence of icosahedral fullerenes using the extension of the so-called three-step or Lewenstein model to the molecular case. The high harmonic spectra obtained at midinfrared wavelengths show modulations in the plateau region. These modulations are due to the coherent superposition of the contributions from the atomic centers in the molecule t...

We investigate macroscopic interference effects in high-order harmonic generation using a Ti:sapphire laser operating at a 100 kHz repetition rate. The structure and behavior of spectral and spatial interference fringes are explained and analytically described by transient phase matching of the long electron trajectory contribution.
