Theory of Dynamic Imaging of Molecules with intense infrared laser pulses
نویسندگان
چکیده
When a molecule is exposed to an intense laser pulse, electrons that are removed earlier in the laser field may be driven back by the oscillating electric field of the laser to recollide with the target ion. The scattering of the returning electrons offers the opportunities to study the structure of the molecule. Since lasers of pulse duration of a few femtoseconds are already available, thus it is possible to use few femtoseconds lasers for dynamic imaging of transient molecules. The basic scattering theories for dynamic quantum imaging of molecules are discussed.

Imaging ultrafast dynamics of molecules with laser-induced electron diffraction.
We introduce a laser-induced electron diffraction method (LIED) for imaging ultrafast dynamics of small molecules with femtosecond mid-infrared lasers. When molecules are placed in an intense laser field, both low- and high-energy photoelectrons are generated. According to quantitative rescattering (QRS) theory, high-energy electrons are produced by a rescattering process where electrons born a...
متن کاملEffects of intense laser pulse properties on wake field acceleration in magnetized plasma: Half-Sine Shape (HSS) and Gaussian Shape (GS) pulses
In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In ad...
متن کاملHigh-resolution spatial and temporal microscopy with intense-laser-induced rescattering electrons
Following the recent developments in intense laser techniques, ultrafast phenomena of the order of a few femtoseconds to attoseconds have been discussed. We are developing new methods for ultrafast imaging for transient atomic and molecular systems. We apply the recently developed quantitative rescattering theory together with a fitting procedure to extract effective potentials as well as elast...
متن کاملDynamics of Atoms & Molecules in Intense Laser Fields
Intense laser fields, comparable in magnitude with the Coulomb field within atoms and molecules, can be generated by focussing high-energy and ultrashort laser pulses. When exposed to such a strongly perturbing field, molecules exhibit various exotic features that cannot be observed in weak laser fields. We are seeking a deeper understanding of the behavior of molecules in intense laser fields,...
متن کاملExtracting conformational structure information of benzene molecules via laser-induced electron diffraction
We have measured the angular distributions of high energy photoelectrons of benzene molecules generated by intense infrared femtosecond laser pulses. These electrons arise from the elastic collisions between the benzene ions with the previously tunnel-ionized electrons that have been driven back by the laser field. Theory shows that laser-free elastic differential cross sections (DCSs) can be e...
