Time-dependent density functional theory of high harmonic generation from noble-gas atoms driven by orthogonally-polarized two-color laser fields
Abstract
An orthogonally polarized two-color (OTC) field of frequency ratio 1 : 2 is known to generate both odd and even harmonic spectra in the mutually orthogonal directions of the fundamental and the second-harmonic fields, respectively. Recollision angles of an ionized electron driven back to its parent ion by an OTC field are inferred from the intensity ratio of odd and even harmonics, where the relative phase delays between the two-color fields can be used in time-resolved measurements on a subcycle time scale. Here, we present the ab initio, many-electron calculation of time-resolved recollision angles of noble-gas atoms driven by an OTC field, based on the time-dependent density-functional theory. Our results agree well with experimental data by Shafir et al. in Nat. Phys. 5, 412 (2009) of helium atom and New J. Phys. 12, 073032 (2010) of neon atom.
