Atomic and Molecular Physics in Strong Fields

Technical Report Chu, Shih-I

In this project, we have investigated a broad range of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) processes of current significance in strong-field and ultrafast science and technology. The main goals are to develop new theoretical formalisms and accurate computational methods for ab initio and in-depth non-perturbative study of time-resolved multiphoton quantum dynamics and spectroscopy, very-high-order harmonic generation, optimal control of ultrafast attosecond pulse generation, and resonance-enhanced below threshold harmonics in intense ultrashort laser fields. We have worked on the following projects and we have published 20 top 15 % SCI journal articles during the last 3.5 years (Jan. 1, 2016 tomore »« less

High-order harmonic generation by an intense infrared laser pulse in the presence of a weak UV pulse

Journal Article Popruzhenko, S. V. ; Zaretsky, D. F. ; Max-Born-Institut, D-12489 Berlin ; ... - Physical Review. A

High-order harmonic emission by an atom subject to the superposition of a strong infrared (IR) and a weak ultraviolet (UV) laser pulse is studied for the case when the UV photon energy remains below the ionization threshold. A simple analytical treatment is developed on the basis of the Lewenstein approach modified to account for the contribution of excited bound states of the atom. It is found that an order-of-magnitude enhancement of the high-harmonic emission rate can be expected, particularly in IR fields of moderate intensity. The results are discussed in view of recent experimental data and numerical simulations of themore » problem.« less

Energy transfer among distant quantum systems in spatially shaped laser fields: Two H atoms with an internuclear separation of 5.29 nm (100 a.u.)

Journal Article Paramonov, Guennaddi K. ; Kuehn, Oliver ; Bandrauk, Andre D. ; ... - Physical Review. A

The quantum dynamics of two distant H atoms excited by ultrashort and spatially shaped laser pulses is studied by the numerical solution of the non-Born-Oppenheimer time-dependent Schroedinger equation within a three-dimensional (3D) model, including the internuclear distance R and the two z coordinates of the electrons z{sub 1} and z{sub 2}. The two one-dimensional (1D) H atoms, A and B, are assumed to be initially in their ground states with a large (but otherwise arbitrary) internuclear separation of R=100 a.u. (5.29 nm). Two types of a spatial envelope of a laser field linearly polarized along the z axis are considered:more »« less

Enhanced high-harmonic generation up to the soft X-ray region driven by mid-infrared pulses mixed with their third harmonic

Journal Article Kroh, Tobias ; Jin, Cheng ; Krogen, Peter ; ... - Optics Express

We systematically study the efficiency enhancement of high-harmonic generation (HHG) in an Ar gas cell up to the soft X-ray (SXR) range using a two-color laser field composed of 2.1 μm (ω) and 700 nm (3ω) with parallel linear polarization. Our experiment follows the recent theoretical investigations that determined two-color mid-infrared (IR) pulses, mixed with their third harmonic (ω + 3ω), to be close to optimal driving waveforms for enhancing HHG efficiency in the SXR region [Jin et al., Nature Comm. 5, 4003 (2014)]. We observed sub-optical-cycle-dependent efficiency enhancements of up to 8.2 of photon flux integrated between 20 –more »« less
