Signatures of the continuum electron phase in molecular strong-field photoelectron holography
Laser-driven electron recollision is at the heart of the rapidly growing field of attosecond science. The recollision wavepacket is qualitatively described within the strong-field approximation, which commonly assumes tunnelling ionization and plane-wave propagation of the liberated electron in the continuum. However, with increasing experimental sophistication, refinements to this simple model...
متن کاملAngular encoding in attosecond recollision
We describe a general concept of using the spatial information encoded in the time-dependent polarization of high harmonic radiation generated by orthogonally polarized two-color laser fields. The main properties of recolliding electron wave packets driven by such fields are reviewed. It is shown that in addition to the recollision energy the angle of recollision of such wave packets, which is ...
متن کاملProbing the spatial structure of a molecular attosecond electron wave packet using shaped recollision trajectories.
Using orthogonally polarized 800 nm and 400 nm laser pulses, we have generated high harmonics in ethane (C(2)H(6)). We observe that the intensity of each harmonic order modulates with the attosecond delay between the two laser fields. The modulation period of the low even harmonics is twice that of the period of modulation of the other harmonics. By comparing with theoretical calculation, we sh...

Interaction of intense ultrashort (few-cycle) laser pulses with atoms and molecules leads to a highly nonlinear nonperturbative regime of electron dynamics and response. Ionized electrons are shown to be controlled by such pulses and the response is described by simple classical models of under and above barrier ionization followed by recollision with the parent ion or collision with neighborin...
متن کاملRecollision dynamics and time delay in strong-field double ionization.
Three-dimensional classical ensembles are employed to study recollision dynamics in double ionization of atoms by 780-nm intense lasers. After recollision one electron typically remains bound to the atom for a portion of a laser cycle, during which time the nucleus strongly influences its direction of motion. The electron then escapes over a suppressed barrier, with its final momentum depending...
