非对称波形激光驱动的氢原子高次谐波频移及控制

提出了一种利用非对称波形激光脉冲与原子相互作用在隧穿区发射高次谐波谱的大频移方案.通过数值求解偶极近似下的三维含时薛定谔方程,研究了该激光驱动氢原子发射的高次谐波特性.结果表明,利用上升沿与下降沿不同的非对称激光驱动氢原子所发射的高次谐波在截止位置附近发生了大的频率红移和蓝移,通过改变激光脉冲的上升沿或下降沿,能调控谐波的频移量.产生频移的原因是激光脉冲上升沿或下降沿对谐波贡献的不同所致,当下降沿发射谐波的贡献大于上升沿的贡献时,谐波发生红移,反之则发生蓝移.通过改变激光脉冲波形,在隧穿电离区能够调控截止位置附近原子发射的高次谐波频率,对于给定的某一阶谐波,调控的范围可从奇次阶到邻近偶次阶之间的任意频率处.

Carrier-envelope phase effects of over-saturated few-cycle laser pulses on high-order harmonic generation

We investigate theoretically the high-order harmonic generation driven by few-cycle laser pulses with intensities above the saturated intensity using the Lewenstein model. It is found that the carrier-envelope phase of the laser pulse has great influences on the coherence of the high-order harmonic spectrum in the plateau region when driven by a relatively weaker driver field in the oversaturated regime. While for a much higher intensity the coherence of the high-order harmonic spectrum is almost independent on the carrier-envelope phase.     

The study of high-order harmonic generation using ellipticity-modulated laser pulse

The high-order harmonic generation using ellipticity-modulated laser field is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The laser field with time-varying ellipticity is obtained using two quarter wave plates. The harmonic spectral intensity peaks appear periodic for the localization induced by the ellipticity modulation of the laser pulse. We calculate the single-atom response to the driving laser field using the Lewenstein model and compare the calculated and measured harmonic spectra generated with ellipticity-modulated driving laser pulses. The theoretical simulation and the experiment results agree well with each other.

Chirp control on molecular harmonic generation and distribution in H2+

Chirp control on the molecular harmonic emission and distribution in H₂⁺ has been theoretically investigated. The results show that (i) with the introduction of the up-chirped pulse, the intensities of the higher harmonics are decreased; while with the introduction of the down-chirped pulse, the intensities of the higher harmonics can be enhanced. When E(t) < 0.0, the harmonic emission events (HEEs) from the positive-H are higher than those from the negative-H; while when E(t) > 0.0, the HEEs from the negative-H are higher than those from the positive-H. As a result, when the higher harmonics are produced from E(t) < 0.0 or E(t) > 0.0, the positive-H or the negative-H plays the main role in the harmonic spectra. (ii) The distribution of the higher harmonics from the two-H nuclei can be controlled with the introduction of the chirps and the carrier-envelope-phases of the laser field. (iii) Some minima on the harmonic spectra can be obtained, which is attributed to the coupling of the two-center interference and the electron-nuclear dynamics. (iv) By properly superposing the harmonics from the down-chirped pulse, an isolated attosecond pulse (IAP) with the duration of 45 as can be obtained, which is nearly 1 order of magnitude enhancement in pulse intensity compared with the chirp- free case.     

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.
