空间波函数的对称性对氦原子双光子双电离过程中电子关联的影响

通过数值求解含时薛定谔方程，研究了氦原子具有对称空间波函数的1s2s 1S态和具有反对称空间波函数的1s2s 3S态分别作为初态的双光子双电离过程. 结果表明，对于初态为单重态1s2s 1S的双光子双电离过程，两个电离电子的能量分布随激光脉冲持续时间的增加呈现由单峰到双峰的变化，这里的单峰和双峰分别意味着两个电离电子主要携带相等和不等的能量；然而对于初态为三重态1s2s 3S的双光子双电离过程，两个电离电子的能量分布随激光脉冲持续时间的增加总是保持双峰结构. 这些结果表明当原子的初态处于反对称空间波函数时，两电子的空间密度分布具有较少的重叠，从而导致电子在超短激光脉冲中电离时电子关联能无法平均分配.

Dynamic stabilization of atomic ionization in a high-frequency laser field with different initial angular momenta

We investigated the ionization of an atom with different orbital angular momenta in a high-frequency laser field by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The results showed that the ionization stabilization features changed with the relative direction between the angular momentum of the initial state and the vector field of the laser pulse. The ionization mechanism of the atom irradiated by a high frequency was explained by calculating the transition matrix and evolution of the time-dependent wave packet. This study can provide comprehensive understanding to improve atomic nonadiabatic ionization.     

Manipulating Photoelectron Distributions for Rare Gas Atoms Ionized with Polarized Femtosecond Laser Pulses

Above-threshold ionizations of rare gas atoms excited by polarized femtosecond laser pulses are investigated. The photoelectron momentum spectra are obtained applying the strong-field approximation (SFA) theory. It is found that, distribution of the emitted photoelectrons varies with different polarizations of laser pulses. We have interpreted the relationship between the observed distribution and the laser polarization taking advantage of tunneling ionization theory and simple-man model. The polarization sensitivity indicates that one can easily manipulate the photoelectron distribution by controlling the polarization of the exciting pulse.     

Comparative analysis of the strong-field ionization of a quantum system with the Coulomb and short-range potentials

The dynamics of a hydrogen atom and a 3D model quantum system with a short-range potential is investigated using the direct numerical integration of the nonstationary Schrödinger equation in a wide range of laser intensities and frequencies. The simulation data are compared with the predictions of variants of the Keldysh-type theories. It is demonstrated that, in the low-frequency (tunnel) limit, the ionization rates of the systems with the Coulomb and short-range potentials and the same values of the ionization potential significantly differ from each other whereas, in the high-frequency (single-photon) limit, we do not observe a substantial difference between the ionization rates. Specific features of the angular distribution of the photoelectron emission and the photoelectron energy spectra are investigated in detail. In addition, the ionization suppression is studied for both Coulomb- and short-range-potential atoms. The stabilization is due to the dramatic reconstruction of the atom in the presence of a strong laser field and the formation of a new system (Kramers-Henneberger atom) that exhibits an increasing resistance to the ionization upon an increase in the laser intensity. In the two-photon ionization regime, the stabilization phenomenon is substantially more pronounced for the system with the Coulomb potential. This results from the effective excitation of the Rydberg states of the dressed atom in the strong-field limit.

Photoelectron momentum distributions of Ne and Xe dimers in counter-rotating circularly polarized laser fields

The strong-field ionization of dimers is investigated theoretically in counter-rotating circularly polarized laser fields. By numerically solving the two-dimensional (2D) time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) with the single-electron approximation (SEA) frame, we present the photoelectron momentum distributions (PMDs) and photoelectron angular distribution (PADs) of aligned Ne and Xe dimers. It is found that the PMDs and PADs strongly depend on the time delays by counter-rotating circularly polarized laser pulses. The results can be explained by the ultrafast photoionization model and the evolution of electron wave packets for Ne and Xe dimers. Besides, We make a comparison of PMDs between Ne atom and Ne dimer.     

Evolution of photoelectron angular distributions in a train of identical,circularly polarized few-cycle laser pulses

Photoelectron angular distribution (PAD) of atoms irradiated by a train of identical, circularly polarized few-cycle laser pulses is studied in the frame of a nonperturbative scattering theory. Our study shows that the PADs vary with the kinetic energy of photoelectron, the carrier-envelope phase, and the pulse duration. We find that along with increasing of the kinetic energy of photoelectron or with decreasing of the pulse duration or the both, the original one maximum of PAD splits into two maxima; the newly produced two maxima evolve to the opposite pole of the symmetric axis, and finally incorporate as a new maximum located in the symmetric axis.Received: 26 February 2004, Published online: 10 August 2004PACS: 32.80.Rm Multiphoton ionization and excitation to highly excited states (e.g., Rydberg states) - 42.50.Hz Strong-field excitation of optical transitions in quantum systems; multiphoton processes; dynamic Stark shift - 42.65.Re Ultrafast processes; optical pulse generation and pulse compression
