Strong-field ionization with two-color circularly polarized laser fields

Journal Article Mancuso, Christopher A. ; Hickstein, Daniel D. ; Grychtol, Patrik ; ... - Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

Strong-field ionization provides fundamental insight into light-matter interactions, encoding the structure of atoms and molecules on the subångström and subfemtosecond scales. Here, we explore an important regime: strong-field ionization by two-color circularly polarized laser fields. In contrast to past work using linearly polarized drivers, we probe electron trajectories that are driven in a two-dimensional plane, thus separating the tunneling angle from the rescattering angle. This allows us to make several findings. First, we observe a single-lobed electron distribution for co-rotating fields, and a three-lobed distribution for counter-rotating fields, providing experimental validation of the theoretical model explaining the generation of circularlymore »« less

Controlling Nonsequential Double Ionization in Two-Color Circularly Polarized Femtosecond Laser Fields

Journal Article Mancuso, Christopher A. ; Dorney, Kevin M. ; Hickstein, Daniel D. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Atoms undergoing strong-field ionization in two-color circularly polarized femtosecond laser fields exhibit unique two-dimensional photoelectron trajectories and can emit bright circularly polarized extreme ultraviolet and soft-x-ray beams. Here, we present the first experimental observation of nonsequential double ionization in these tailored laser fields. Moreover, we can enhance or suppress nonsequential double ionization by changing the intensity ratio and helicity of the two driving laser fields to maximize or minimize high-energy electron-ion rescattering. Our experimental results are explained through classical simulations, which also provide insight into how to optimize the generation of circularly polarized high harmonic beams.

Single and double ionization and strong-field stabilization of a two-electron system

Journal Article Grobe, R ; Eberly, J H - Physical Review A; (United States)

We calculate fully correlated time-dependent two-electron wave functions for a one-dimensional analog of H[sup [minus]] exposed to a short strong-field laser pulse. The onset of two-electron stabilization is identified with an inactive core electron at intensities around 10[sup 13] W/cm[sup 2] for moderate-frequency (2 eV) laser light. Conventional one-electron stabilization is found at much higher intensities and frequencies.

Quantitative rescattering theory of correlated two-electron momentum spectra for strong-field nonsequential double ionization of helium

Journal Article Zhangjin, Chen ; Lin, C D ; Yaqiu, Liang ; ... - Physical Review. A

We study the correlated two-electron momentum spectra of the nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of an atom in an intense laser field based on the recently developed quantitative rescattering (QRS) theory. According to the rescattering model, an electron that was released earlier in the laser pulse may return to collide again with the target ion. NSDI can occur directly if this electron knocks out another electron in a process similar to the (e,2e) process or indirectly by first exciting the target ion to an excited state which is later ionized by the laser field. Using QRS, we obtain the returning electronmore »« less
