Abstract

Using a split-mirror stage combined with a reaction microscope, nonlinear autocorrelation traces of XUV pulses from the Free-electron LASer at Hamburg were recorded for N{sub 2} multiphoton-induced fragmentation into noncoincident N{sup 2+} and coincident N{sup 2+}+N{sup 2+} channels. We find a pulse duration of 40{+-}10 fs along with a sharp spike pointing to a coherence time of 4{+-}1 fs, almost twice as short as in previous observations. Both are well reproduced by a simulation based on the partial-coherence model that includes the molecular dynamics leading to an {approx}12-fs substructure in the trace.

Investigating two-photon double ionization of D{sub 2} by XUV-pump-XUV-probe experiments

Journal Article Jiang, Y; Kurka, M; Kuehnel, K; ... - Physical Review. A

We used a split-mirror setup attached to a reaction microscope at the free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH) to perform an XUV-pump-XUV-probe experiment by tracing the ultrafast nuclear wave-packet motion in the D{sub 2}{sup +}(1s{sigma}{sub g}) with <10 fs time resolution. Comparison with time-dependent calculations shows excellent agreement with the measured vibrational period of 22{+-}4 fs in D{sub 2}{sup +}, points to the importance of accurately knowing the internuclear distance-dependent ionization probability, and paves the way to control sequential and nonsequential two-photon double-ionization contributions.

Investigating two-photon double ionization of D2 by XUV-Pump -- XUV-Probe experiments at FLASH

Journal Article Jiang, Y; Rudenko, A; Perez-Torres, J; ... - Physical Review A, Rapid Communications

Using a novel split-mirror set-up attached to a Reaction Microscope at the Free electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH) we demonstrate an XUV-pump -- XUV-probe ((hbar omega = 38 eV) experiment by tracing the ultra-fast nuclear wave-packet motion in the D2+ (1s sigma g-state) with<10 fs time resolution. Comparison with time-dependent calculations yields excellent agreement with the measured vibrational period of 22+-4 fs in D2+, points to the importance of the inter-nuclear distance dependent ionization probability and paves the way to control sequential and non-sequential two-photon double ionization contributions.

A new soft x-ray autocorrelator--direct evaluation of the temporal properties of FEL pulses at 24 nm

Journal Article Mitzner, R; Noll, T; Siewert, F; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

To provide two jitter-free soft x-ray pulses for femtosecond x-ray pump and probe experiments a split and delay unit (autocorrelator) has been constructed for the VUV-FEL in Hamburg (FLASH). Here we report experiments applying this autocorrelator to examine the average temporal properties of FEL pulses delivered from FLASH at 24 nm (51.8 eV). In a linear autocorrelation experiment the spatio-temporal coherence properties are measured for both the first and the third harmonic of the FEL pulses. Furthermore, we report on the first evaluation of the pulse length from the time-resolved observation of doubly charged helium ions produced by direct two-photonmore »« less

Two-photon ionization and three-photon above-threshold ionization of argon

Technical Report Bouhal, A; Hamoniaux, G; Mysyrowicz, A; ...

Studies of nonlinear laser-matter interaction have been so far limited to wavelengths from the near ultraviolet to infrared, because of the low brightness of currently available sources outside this range. However nonlinear processes in the VUV/Soft X-ray domain would initiate multiphoton innershell spectroscopy, XUV nonlinear optics and applications of such processes to metrology. The probability of multiphoton transitions decreases rapidly with the number of photons involved. A typical two-photon bound-free transition has a rate of the order of .1 ps{sup {minus}1} at 10{sup 12} W.cm{sup {minus}2} and scales as the square of the intensity. Such an intensity is therefore requiredmore »« less

Mapping wave packet bifurcation at a conical intersection in CH₃I by attosecond XUV transient absorption spectroscopy

Journal Article Chang, Kristina; Wang, Han; Poullain, Sonia; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) transient absorption spectroscopy has emerged as a sensitive tool for mapping the real-time structural and electronic evolution of molecules. Here, attosecond XUV transient absorption is used to track dynamics in the A-band of methyl iodide (CH₃I). Gaseous CH₃I molecules are excited to the A-band by a UV pump (277 nm, ~20 fs) and probed by attosecond XUV pulses targeting iodine I(4d) core-to-valence transitions. Owing to the excellent temporal resolution of the technique, passage through a conical intersection is mapped through spectral signatures of nonadiabatic wave packet bifurcation observed to occur at 15 ± 4 fs following UV photoexcitation. The observedmore »« less
