Effect of multiple rescattering processes on harmonic emission in spatially inhomogeneous field

The effect of multiple rescattering processes on the harmonic emission from He atom in a spatially inhomogeneous field is discussed by solving the one-dimensional time-dependent Schr?dinger equation and the classical equation of motion.By establishing the physical model of the harmonic emission in the inhomogeneous field, we discuss the related characters of the multiple rescatterings process in the harmonic generation process. It shows that the second rescattering rather than the first rescattering tends to determine the harmonic cutoff energy when the inhomogeneous parameter is larger than 0.0055.Additionally, with the classical simulation, the underlying physical mechanism of the continuum–continuum harmonics is also revealed. Moreover, this work may provide new physical insight into the harmonic generation in an inhomogeneous field, and is beneficial to further extract the harmonic emission from molecular systems.

Investigation of electron localization in harmonic emission from asymmetric molecular ion

We theoretically investigate the electron localization around two nuclei in harmonic emission from asymmetric molecular ion. The results show that the ionization process of electron localized around one nucleus competes with its transfer process to the other nucleus. By increasing the initial vibrational level, more electrons localized around the nucleus D+tend to transfer to the nucleus He2+so that the ionizations of electrons localized around the nucleus He2+increase. In this case, the difference in harmonic efficiency between He H2+and He D2+decreases while the difference in harmonic spectral structure increases. The evident minimum can be observed in the harmonic spectrum of He H2+compared with that in the spectral structure of He D2+, which is due to the strong interference of multiple recombination channels originating from two nuclei. Time-dependent nuclear probability density, electron-nuclear probability density, double-well model, and time-frequency maps are presented to explain the underlying mechanisms.

Effect of Carrier Envelope Phase on High-Order Harmonic Generation from Solid

The dependence of harmonic emission from a solid on the carrier envelope phase (CEP) is discussed by numerically solving the time-dependent Schr?dinger equation. The harmonic spectra periodically exhibit three distinct oscillating structures, which indicate the different dependences of the cutoff energies on the CEP. Furthermore,with time-dependent population imaging and the populations of different energy bands, the underlying physical mechanism is explored.     

Controlling paths of high-order harmonic generation by orthogonal two-color fields

Controlling paths of high-order harmonic generation from H^2+ is theoretically investigated by numerically solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation in orthogonal two-color fields.Our simulations show that the change of harmonic emission paths is dependent on time-dependent distribution of electrons.Compared with one-dimensional linearly polarized long wavelength laser,multiple returns are suppressed and short paths are dominant in the process of harmonic emission by two-dimensional orthogonal ω/2ω laser fields.Furthermore,not only are multiple returns weaken,but also the harmonic emission varies from twice to once in an optical cycle by orthogonalω/1.5ωlaser fields.Combining the time-frequency distributions and the time-dependent electron wave packets probability density,the mechanism of controlling paths is further explained.As a result,a 68-as isolated attosecond pulse is obtained by superposing a proper range of the harmonics.     

Decoding the electron dynamics in high-order harmonic generation from asymmetric molecular ions in elliptically polarized laser fields

The high-order harmonic generation from an asymmetric molecular ion is theoretically investigated based on the Born-Oppenheimer model with two-dimensional electron dynamics. It is shown that the harmonic intensity changes periodically in elliptically polarized laser fields. The periodical character is ellipticity-dependent. By establishing the physical image, the periodicity of the harmonic intensity can be ascribed to the contributions of the ground state and the excited state. Furthermore, the electron dynamics from different electronic states can be selected via combining the elliptically polarized laser field with a static electric field. The harmonics dominated either by ground state or excited state are emitted once in an optical cycle in the combined laser field.
