高频强激光场中H~-电离特性理论研究

高频强激光场中高价负离子(比如H-,H2-,He-,He2-等等)的稳定存在虽然在理论上早已得到证明,但在实验上至今没有被直接验证.为了探索可行的实验验证方案,通过以高频强场中的负一价氢离子H-为例,采用相空间平均法,详细研究了其在外加激光场中的电离率及光电子角分布情况.研究发现H-的电离率比氢原子高,并且不存在氢原子在较强激光场中的电离抑制现象.另外随着激光场强度的增大和激光频率的减小,电子角分布与H-在高频场直接卸载后电子角分布的差别也增大.这些结果为将来在实验上验证高频强场中高价负离子的存在性提供了很好的理论依据.

Atom under an intense laser pulse: Stabilization effect and strong-field approximation

Direct numerical calculations of the single-photon ionization dynamics of the hydrogen atom were compared with the data obtained within the strong-field approximation (SFA). An analysis showed that the SFA model accurately determines the range of electromagnetic field intensities, upon reaching of which the ionization mode deviates from that described within perturbation theory; in particular, the ionization rate decreases with increasing intensity. It was demonstrated that the actual ionization mechanism under an intense pulse differs significantly from the SFA predictions. For example, an analysis of photoelectron angular distributions and energy spectra showed that the strong-field ionization features within the SFA model are primarily controlled by the ionization channel closing effect associated with the ponderomotive shift of the continuum boundary. At the same time, the results of direct numerical calculations of the ionization dynamics suggest that the Kramers-Henneberger atom is formed in a strong field, which is characterized by increased stability to strong-field ionization.     

ENERGETIC ABOVE-THRESHOLD IONIZATION SPECTRA OF H-ATOM IN INTENSE LASER FIELDS

The above-threshold ionization (ATI) spectra of H-atom in intense laser fields (laser intensity I is up to 10¹⁸W/cm²) are calculated. It is found that the kinetic energy of the ejected electron at the location of the peak of the ATI spectra is about equal to the corresponding ponderomotive potential of the applied laser fields. This result is consistent with that obtained by Wilks et al. and fits the experimental results of the super thermal electron. A possible new mechanism of the super thermal electron generation is proposed.

Absorption and ionization of molecular nitrogen by UV femtosecond laser pulses

Mechanisms of non-linear absorption and ionization of molecular nitrogen gas by UV femtosecond laser pulses were studied using photogalvanic and photoacoustic techniques. The effect of the intermediate Rydberg resonance, its dynamic Stark perturbation and ponderomotive upshift of the first ionization potential of nitrogen molecules by the intense laser pulses has been revealed by observing an increase of a power slope of ion yield from three to four at increasing laser intensity.     

Nonsequential double ionization of the aligned hydrogen molecule in strong field

This paper studies the nonsequential double ionization(NSDI) process of diatomic molecules aligned parallel and perpendicular to an intense linearly polarized laser field by using a three-dimensional semiclassical model.With this model,it achieves insight into the ion momentum distribution under the combined influence of a two-centre Coulomb potential and an intense laser field,and this result shows the significant influence of molecular alignment on the ratio between double and single ionization rate.Careful investigations show that the NSDI process for different alignment molecules has a close relation to the laser intensity and the different bounding electron distribution has a significant influence on the final ion momentum distribution.     

Laser phase control of high-order harmonic generation at large internuclear distance: the H+ -H2+ system

Exact (Born-Oppenheimer) 3-D numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schr?dinger equation are obtained for the one electron linear H+-H2+ atom-molecule system at large internuclear distance R in interaction with two-cycles intense (I>10(14) W cm(-2)) 800 nm laser pulses. High-order harmonic generation (HHG) spectra are obtained with an energy cutoff larger than the atomic maximum of I(p)+3U(p), where I(p) is the ionization potential and U(p) is the ponderomotive energy. At large R, this extended cutoff is shown to be related to the nature of electron transfer, whose direction is shown to depend critically on the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of the ultrashort pulse. Constructive and destructive interferences in the HHG spectrum resulting from coherent superpositions of electronic states in the H+-H2+ system are interpreted in terms of multiple electron trajectories extracted from a time profile analysis.     

Above-threshold ionization photoelectron spectrum from quantum trajectory

Many nonlinear quantum phenomena of intense laser-atom physics can be intuitively explained with the concept of trajectory. In this paper, Bohmian mechanics (BM) is introduced to study a multiphoton process of atoms interacting with the intense laser field: above-threshold ionization (ATI). Quantum trajectory of an atomic electron in intense laser field is obtained from the Bohm-Newton equation first and then the energy of the photoelectron is gained from its trajectory. With energies of an ensemble of photoelectrons, we obtain the ATI spectrum which is consistent with the previous theoretical and experimental results. Comparing BM with the classical trajectory Monte-Carlo method, we conclude that quantum potential may play a key role to reproduce the spectrum of ATI. Our work may present a new approach to understanding quantum phenomena in intense laser-atom physics with the image of trajectory.
