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.     

Multiphoton and tunneling ionization of atoms in an intense laser field

We study the ionization probabilities of atoms by a short laser pulse with three different theoretical methods,i.e.,the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schro¨dinger equation(TDSE),the Perelomov-Popov-Terent’ev(PPT) theory,and the Ammosov-Delone-Krainov(ADK) theory.Our results show that laser intensity dependent ionization probabilities of several atoms(i.e.,H,He,and Ne) obtained from the PPT theory accord quite well with the TDSE results both in the multiphoton and tunneling ionization regimes,while the ADK results fit well to the TDSE data only in the tunneling ionization regime.Our calculations also show that laser intensity dependent ionization probabilities of a H atom at three different laser wavelengths of 600 nm,800 nm,and 1200 nm obtained from the PPT theory are also in good agreement with those from the TDSE,while the ADK theory fails to give the wavelength dependence of ionization probability.Only when the laser wavelength is long enough,will the results of ADK be close to those of TDSE.

一维模型氢原子在啁啾激光场中的阈上电离

通过数值求解一维模型氢原子在啁啾激光场中的含时薛定谔方程,研究了在不同电离机制下啁啾率对阈上电离能谱的影响. 计算结果表明,三种不同电离区域的光电子能谱对啁啾率的依赖程度不同. 结合激发束缚态的总布局,阐明了多光子阈上电离能谱的啁啾依赖主要源自于激发束缚态的贡献. 而单光子和隧穿电离区,电子可通过吸收单个光子或隧穿势垒到达连续态,因此激发束缚态的影响较小. 另外,隧穿电离区光电子能谱第一个平台截止位置对啁啾率的依赖可归结于激发束缚态的贡献.

Multiphoton ionization of molecular hydrogen by single-cycle pulses

Multiphoton ionization, first observed by N.B. Delone in 1965, has been a subject of intense studies ever since. In this paper we consider multiphoton ionization of molecules in the limit of subopticalcycle pulse duration. Moreover, we study the regime where the molecules are first prepared in a coherent vibrational superposition state, and then are subjected to sub-cycle laser pulses synchronized with respect to the phase of the coherent molecular motion. The present approach is based on the Keldysh formalism, which assumes that the final free electron’s state is much more sensitive to the pulse than the bound initial wavefunction [1]. We find that the ionization rate depends not only on the sub-cycle shape of the laser pulses, but also on the time delay between the arrival of pulses and molecular motion.

利用飞行时间质谱仪在超声射流冷却条件下探讨了532 nm激光作用下CH3I分子的多光子电离(MPI)解离过程和机制,得到了分子的飞行时间质谱,质谱中包含较强的I 、CH3 离子信号和较弱的CH3I 、CHn (n≤2)、C 、H 离子信号.不同激光能量下的质谱信号在排布上相似,但在强度上有差别.在532 nm激光作用下CH3I分子的多光子电离包括两个过程:一是CH3I分子由双光子激发到A带解离,生成I原子和CH3基团,然后再吸收光子实现中性碎片电离;另一通道是CH3I分子由三光子共振激发到里德堡C态,处于激发态的母体分子继续吸收两个光子电离形成母体离子,碎片离子可由母体离子解离形成.     

Tunneling ionization of a hydrogen atom in short and ultrashort laser pulses

The ionization of a hydrogen atom in a linearly polarized low-frequency electromagnetic field is investigated by direct numerical integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The data obtained for various ionization regimes and various initial atomic states are compared with the Keldysh and Perelomov-Popov-Terent’ev (PPT) theories. The validity ranges for the quasi-static model of tunneling ionization and the PPT theory in laser intensity and frequency are determined. The tunneling ionization of the excited 2s and 2p states is discussed. The ionization of a hydrogen atom in an ultrashort (on the order of one optical period) pulse is investigated.     

Chirp-dependent ionization of hydrogen atoms in the presence of super-intense laser pulses

We perform a theoretical study on dynamic interference in single photon ionization of ground state hydrogen atoms in the presence of a super-intense ultra-fast chirped laser pulse of different chirp types(equal-power and equal-FWHM laser pulses) by numerically solving the time-dependent Schr ¨odinger equation in one dimension. We investigate the influences of peak intensity and chirp parameters on the instantaneous ionization rate and photoelectron yield, respectively. We also compare the photoelectron energy spectra for the ionization by the laser pulses with different chirp types. We find that the difference between the instantaneous ionization rates for the ionization of hydrogen atom driven by two different chirped laser pulses is originated from the difference in variation of vector potentials with time.     

Two-photon double ionization of helium by chirped few-cycle attosecond pulses:From nonsequential to sequential regime

The two-photon double ionization(TPDI) dynamics of helium by chirped attosecond pulses are theoretically studied by solving the two-electron time-dependent Schr o¨dinger equation in its full dimensions. We show that both the differential and the total double ionization probability can be significantly controlled by adjusting the chirp. The dependence of the TPDI on the chirp can be quite different for different photon energies, relying on the central photon energy being in the sequential region, nonsequential region, or translation region. The physics which lead to the chirp dependence for different photon energies are addressed. Present findings are well reproduced by a model based on the second-order time-dependent perturbation theory.
