THz wave emission from argon in two-color laser field

Terahertz(THz) wave emission from argon atom in a two-color laser pulses is studied numerically by solving the one-dimensional(1D) time-dependent Schr ¨odinger equation. The THz spectra we obtained include both discontinuous and continuum ones. By using the special basis functions that we previously proposed, our analysis points out that the discontinuous and continuum parts are contributed by bound–bound and continuum–continuum transition of atomic energy levels. Although the atomic wave function is strongly dressed during the interaction with laser fields, our identification for the discontinuous part of the THz wave shows that the transition between highly excited bound states can still be well described by the field-free basis function in the tunneling ionization regime.     

基于多组态含时Hartree-Fock方法研究电子关联对于H_2分子强场电离的影响

发展了三维的处理双原子分子非微扰电子动力学的多组态含时Hartree-Fock方法,并利用该方法研究了电子关联对于H_2分子强场电离概率的影响.该方法采用能够精确处理双中心库仑势的椭球坐标系,以及减小双电子积分计算量的有限元-离散变量基函数方法.利用多组态含时Hartree-Fock方法计算了H_2分子随分子取向角度变化的XUV光电离结果,并通过与单组态结果的对比研究了电子关联对于单电离和双电离概率的不同影响.研究表明,电子关联对于单电离过程影响很小,而在双电离过程中则发挥了重要作用,导致了电离概率的减小.该方法为进一步研究强场物理过程中的电子关联效应奠定了基础.

Theory of Tunnel Ionization in Complex Systems

We present a detailed derivation of the Ammosov-Delone-Krainov theory of tunnel ionization in complex systems （CS-ADK）. A few mistakes in the previous works have been found and corrected. The theory is then applied to CO2, showing that CS-ADK yields better agreement with experiment than the molecular ADK theory.     

Multi-Electron Effects in Attosecond Transient Absorption of CO Molecules

Using the fully propagated time-dependent Hartree–Fock method, we identify that both the dynamic core polarization and multiorbital contributions are important in the attosecond transient absorption of CO molecules.The dynamics of core electrons effectively modifies the behaviors of electrons in the highest occupied molecular orbital, resulting in the modulation of intensity and position of the absorption peaks. Depending on the alignment angles, different inner orbitals are identified to contribute, and even dominate the total absorption spectra. As a result, multi-electron fingerprints are encoded in the absorption spectra, which shed light on future applications of attosecond transient absorption in complex systems.     

Phase dependence of third-order harmonic generation in gases induced by two-color laser field

We experimentally demonstrate third-harmonic generation(THG) in gases ionized by a femtosecond laser pulse superimposed on its second-harmonic(SH). The mechanism of THG has been investigated, and it demonstrates that a third-order nonlinear process dominates at low pump intensity. Asymmetric third-harmonic(TH) spectra are observed at different time delays in two color fields, which are attributed to the process of the four-wave mixing(FWM) of the broad spectrum of pump pulses. A joint measuremen...
