双原子分子多光子电离强场效应的含时波包动力学研究

强激光非线性条件下分子的多光子电离过程呈现出较为明显的强场效应.由于这种效应不能用传统的量子微扰论来处理,“缀饰态”模型方法提供了物理图象清晰的处理光与物质相互作用的方案.本文基于含时波包动力学的基本理论,将激光场看作经典场,利用“缀饰态”模型研究了强场下双原子分子(NO、RbI等)的多光子电离过程.研究表明,激光场的强度、泵浦-探测脉冲延迟时间等对多光子电离光电子能谱的形状有着重要的影响,而这种影响是由光诱导势引起的.另外,在研究具有两个连续态的RbI体系时,自电离现象的发生也与势能面的交叉密切相关,并受外场强度的影响.本文计算模拟外场中分子的光电子能谱时所得到的强场效应对理解和实现原子分子过程的激光操控具有重要的意义.     

High-order harmonic generation and multi-photon ionization of Na2 in laser fields

In this paper high-order harmonic generation （HHG） spectra and the ionization probabilities of various charge states of small cluster Na2 in the multiphoton regimes are calculated by using time-dependent local density approximation （TDLDA） for one-colour （1064 nm） and two-colour （1064 nm and 532 nm） ultrashort （25 fs） laser pulses. HHG spectra of Na2 have not the large extent of plateaus due to pronounced collective effects of electron dynamics. In addition, the two-colour laser field can result in the breaking of the symmetry and generation of the even order harmonic such as the second order harmonic. The results of ionization probabilities show that a two-colour laser field can increase the ionization probability of higher charge state.

Theoretical investigation of 2+2 resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization probability

The analytic formula of the ionization probability in the process of 2+2 resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization (REMPI) is derived from the dynamic rate equation about the interaction of photon and material. Based on the formula, the influence of laser intensity, laser pulse duration and collision relaxation rate on the ionization probability is investigated theoretically. It is shown that the ionization probability increases with the laser intensity and laser pulse duration. The ionization probability will get to one until two steps saturation with the increase of laser intensity. After that, the ionization probability will oscillates narrowly around the saturation value if the laser intensity increases further. The results also show that the ionization probability will decrease in linear manner nearly with the increase of collision relaxation rate. But the variation is small. So the influence of the collision relaxation rate (or even sample pressure) on the ionization probability can be ignored. In the practical use of REMPI, higher sample pressure will reduce the intensity of the detection signal is due to the collision complex of the positive and negative ions. This will reduce the collection efficiency of the ions, and influence the magnitude of the ion signal further.

Multiphoton resonant ionization of hydrogen atom exposed to two-colour laser pulses

This paper studies the multiphoton resonant ionization by two-colour laser pulses in the hydrogen atom by solving the time-dependent Schroedinger equation. By fixing the parameters of fundamental laser field and scanning the frequency of second laser field, it finds that the ionization probability shows several resonance peaks and is also much larger than the linear superposition of probabilities by applying two lasers separately. The enhancement of the ionization happens when the system is resonantly pumped to the excited states by absorbing two or more colour photons non-sequentially.     

Multiphoton ionization of the hydrogen atom exposed to circularly or linearly polarized laser pulses

This paper studies the multiphoton ionization of the hydrogen atom exposed to the linearly or circularly polarized laser pulses by solving the time-dependent Schr?dinger equation. It finds that the ratio of the ionization probabilities by linearly and circularly polarized laser pulses varies with the numbers of absorbing photons. With the same laser intensity, the circularly polarized laser pulse favors to ionize the atom with more ease than the linearly polarized laser pulse if only two or three photons are necessary to be absorbed. For the higher order multiphoton ionization, the linearly polarized laser pulse has the advantage over circularly polarized laser pulse to ionize the atom.     

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.

Development of laser photoelectron spectroscopy based on resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization

This review article is mainly concerned with laser photoelectron spectroscopy based on REMPI (resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization), consisting of two parts. One is associated with the measurement of photoelectron kinetic-energy distribution and the other is associated with the measurement of zero-kinetic-energy (ZEKE) photoelectrons in very high resolution. These two techniques are complementary to each other. During the last three decades, the author and co-workers have carried out photoelectron spectroscopic studies of molecules in the gas phase, using the HeI 584 Å resonance line and a nanosecond tunable UV–visible laser. In this article, firstly the author’s background in the field of molecular photoelectron spectroscopy is described briefly, by mentioning three topics of HeI photoelectron spectroscopy. Secondly, the principle and characteristics of laser photoelectron kinetic-energy spectroscopy and its application to several typical topics, namely, one-photon forbidden states (O₂), autoionization from a super-excited state (NO), and small van der Waals molecules (NO–Ar and the NO₂ dimer), and some others. Thirdly, the principle and characteristics of ZEKE photoelectron spectroscopy are described, together with its application to the following several topics: (1) rotational spectra of NO⁺, (2) vibrational coupling of (naphthalene)⁺, (3) large-amplitude torsional motion of (tolane)⁺, (4) rotational isomers of (cis and trans n-propylbenzene)⁺ and structural isomers of (2-hydroxypyridine)⁺, (5) proton tunneling of (tropolone)⁺ and (9-hydroxyphenalenone)⁺, (6) intramolecular vibrational redistribution of trans stilbene, and (7) cation van der Waals molecules of aniline–Ar_n (n=1,2) and azulene–Ar. All the results mentioned as examples are those obtained in the author’s laboratory.

利用强激光场电离和离解分子来研究分子激发态的波包结构是强场物理的重要研究方向。利用短时指数传播子对称分割法和快速傅里叶变换技术,数值求解了一维含时Schr-dinger方程,探讨了双色激光场中激光的基波和谐波强度之间的不同配比以及脉宽对线性多原子分子离子电离的影响。理论计算结果表明：基波和谐波的相对相位为π时,尽管随着激光的基波和谐波强度之间配比的变化,电离几率随原子间距变化的趋势基本保持不变,但在一定的激光基波强度下（1.2×1013~1.2×1015 W/cm2),激光基波强度的变化可以明显改变电离几率随原子间距变化的趋势。另外,激光脉冲的持续作用可以增强分子的电离,取原子个数为5,基频光波长为800 nm,基波与谐波的强度配比为4,频率配比为2,当其作用时间达到75 fs时,电离基本接近饱和。采用外静电场电离模型能够合理地解释这些现象。
