高次谐波发射的亚原子尺度研究

激光与原子、分子相互作用的高次谐波是产生超短阿秒脉冲和相干高频XUV光源的重要手段之一.为了产生高强度的XUV光源,需要对谐波产生机制深入研究.本文通过数值求解含时薛定谔方程,计算了不同空间位置的含时偶极矩进而得到不同空间位置的高次谐波发射.对不同空间位置的谐波发射谱的分析发现,谐波发射的主要空间位置在核区附近,不同空间位置的谐波中奇次和偶次谐波均能被观察到,整数阶谐波能量辐射强度较大.进一步研究不同空间位置的谐波相位发现,在x=0左右两侧发射的奇次谐波相位相同,偶次谐波相位相反.通过滤波方法分析了不同空间位置的相同次谐波的含时偶极矩信息,发现该相位特征导致了奇次谐波的增强,偶次谐波的消失.     

Tunable spectral shift of high-order harmonic generation in atoms using a sinusoidally phase-modulated pulse

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) from an atom illuminated by a sinusoidally phase-modulated pulse is investigated by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The spectral shift that occurs in atomic HHG can be achieved easily using our laser pulse. It is shown that the photon energy of the generated harmonics is controllable within the range of 1 eV. The shift of the frequency peak position is rooted in the asymmetry of the rising and falling parts of the laser pulse. We also show that by varying the phase parameters in the frequency domain of the laser one can adjust and control the shift in atomic harmonic spectra.

理论上研究了中红外强激光分别与长程库仑原子和短程势模型原子相互作用产生的高次谐波辐射.发现在相同激光参数条件下,与长程库仑原子的谐波辐射相比,短程原子具有更低的辐射效率,但在高频区域(接近cutoff位置),二者效率相似.通过对谐波辐射的时间频率分析发现,在短程模型原子谐波辐射中,长轨道发挥更重要的作用.利用其产生的高次谐波辐射,可以产生孤立阿秒脉冲.     

Simultaneous study of the lower order harmonic and photoelectron emission from an atom in intense laser pulse

We simultaneously investigate variations of a low order harmonic and photoelectron emission with an incident laser intensity by solving the time-dependent Schr o¨dinger equation in a momentum space. It can be found that, the intensity of low order harmonic and photoelectron are gradually enhanced with the increase of the laser intensity, when the laser frequency is not in resonance with the transition frequency between the laser-induced high excited states and the ground state. If the resonance occurs, the intensity of the lower order harmonic is reduced and the interference can be observed in the lower order photoelectron spectra.     

Investigation on the influence of atomic potentials on the above threshold ionization

We systematically investigate the influence of atomic potentials on the above-threshold ionization （ATI） spectra in one-dimensional （1D） cases and compare them with the three-dimensional （3D） case by numerically solving the time-dependent Schrrdinger equation. It is found that the direct ionization plateau and the rescattering plateau of the ATI spectrum in the 3D case can be well reproduced by the 1D ATI spectra calculated from the supersolid-core potential and the soft-core potential, respectively. By analyzing the factors that affect the yield of the ATI spectrum, we propose a modified-potential with which we can reproduce the overall 3D ATI spectrum. In addition, the influence of the incident laser intensities and frequencies on the ATI spectra calculated from the proposed modified potential is studied.     

Influence of multi-photon excitation on the atomic above-threshold ionization

Using the time-dependent pseudo-spectral scheme, we solve the time-dependent Schr ¨odinger equation of a hydrogenlike atom in a strong laser field in momentum space. The intensity-resolved photoelectron energy spectrum in abovethreshold ionization is obtained and further analyzed. We find that with the increase of the laser intensity, the abovethreshold ionization emission spectrum exhibits periodic resonance structure. By analyzing the population of atomic bound states, we find that it is the multi-photon excitation of bound state that leads to the occurrence of this phenomenon, which is in fairly good agreement with the experimental results.
