超短超强激光脉冲辐照超薄碳膜电离状态研究

为了进一步理解极端条件下物质的电离特性, 特别是超短超强激光脉冲辐照超薄靶时等离子体的形成与分布, 本文以超薄碳膜为例, 细致研究了超短超强激光脉冲辐照下原子的离化过程. 分析和比较了强激光场直接作用电离和靶内静电场电离等两种场致电离形式, 在碰撞电离可以忽略的情况下, 发现更多的电离份额是来自靶内静电场的电离方式. 研究了激光脉冲强度对电离的影响, 发现激光脉冲强度越强, 电离速度越快, 产生的高价态离子所占比例也越高.当激光强度为1×10²⁰ W/cm²时, 尽管该强度高于电离生成C⁺⁶所需要的激光强度阈值, 但该激光脉冲并不能将整个靶电离成C⁺⁶离子, 对此本文进行了详细的分析. 在研究激光脉冲宽度的影响时, 发现激光脉宽越小, 电离速度越快, 但越小的激光脉冲电离获得的高价态离子越少.

超短强激光脉冲激励甲烷团簇的内电离机理

采用三维粒子动力学模拟方法研究了甲烷团簇在超短强激光脉冲激励下的爆炸动力学行为,重点讨论了几种典型的内电离机理对团簇爆炸过程中离子的价态和动能的影响.研究表明,在激光脉冲强度比较小的情况下,团簇中的原子主要是在光场作用下通过隧道电离的方式发生电离.当激光场进一步增强时,势垒压低电离是电离的主要方式.在相同的较高激光强度下,团簇更容易通过势垒压低电离达到高的电离价态.团簇发生电离后,其内部库仑电场的点火电离效应和内部滞留自由电子的碰撞电离效应也将增强团簇的再次电离过程. 关键词： 超短强激光脉冲 甲烷团簇 内电离

双色激光场中激光强度和脉宽对线性多原子分子离子电离的影响

 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。

低于再碰撞阈值下强激光场原子非序列双电离(英文)

在最近的实验和理论研究中,我们探讨了氩原子和氖原子在红外强激光场中低于再碰撞阈值的非序列双电离问题。在研究中,我们发现在非序列双电离过程中,氖原子的电子关联表现为在激光偏振面内肩并肩出射,而对于氩原子的电子关联行为表现为在激光偏振面内的背对背出射,我们采用三维半经典模型(考虑电子隧道电离)很好地解释了实验结果。在阈值附近,我们发现电子在激光场中的多次散射以及电子再碰撞激发后电子隧道电离是氩原子反关联行为的主要原因,而电子在激光场作用下的单次碰撞是电子关联行为的主要原因。通过测量双电离过程中产生电子的横向电子动量分布,观察到了库伦聚焦效应,我们认为这是非经典的关联行为。最后,我们给出了氩原子和氖原子在激光场中阈值的解析模型,并给出了原子的关联和反关联激光强度区域。     

Peculiarities of the ionization of many-electron systems and generation of attosecond pulses in ultrashort laser fields

The ionization of a model two-electron atom in the field of a strong ultrashort laser pulse is studied by numerical integration of the nonstationary Schrödinger equation describing the dynamics of a quantum system in the field of an electromagnetic wave. Pecularities of the two-electron ionization are analyzed for pulses whose duration amounts to one to two periods of oscillation of the electric field of the wave at different frequencies of the incident radiation. For extremely short pulses, the double ionization is found to be suppressed. This effect is caused by the finiteness of the interelectron energy exchange time during the laser action. Peculiarities of the generation of high-order harmonics and single XUV attosecond pulses upon ionization of atoms by laser pulses, whose duration is within one to two optical cycles, are investigated.     

Measurement of Carrier-Envelope Phase and Field Strength of a Few-Cycle Pulse by Non-sequential Double Ionization

We propose a method to measure the carrier-envelop phase （CEP） and the intensity of a few-cycle pulse by controlling the non-sequentiai double ionization （NSDI） process. By using an additional static electric field, we can change the momentum distribution of the double-charged ions parallel to the laser polarization from an asymmetrical double-hump structure to a nearly symmetrical one. It is found that the ratio between the strength of the static electric field and that of the laser field is sensitive to the CEP but robust against the intensity fluctuation. Therefore we can determine the OEP of a few-cycle pulse precisely by measuring the static electric field. Fhrthermore, if the CEP of the few-cycle pulse is fixed at a certain value, we can also calibrate the intensity of the laser pulse by the static electric field.     

Dynamics of strong-field double ionization of H_2 in co-rotating two-color circularly polarized laser fields

Double ionization of H_2 in a co-rotating two-color circularly polarized(TCCP) laser field is theoretically investigated. By changing the ratio of electric field peak amplitudes of the TCCP laser pulses, the double ionization probability as a function of the laser intensity shows a clear knee structure, which is suppressed significantly in the case of the atom. Due to the large spatial range of the electronic initial distribution, with the analysis of classical trajectories of ionized electrons, it is found that the ionization of the electron in the farther distance increases the probability of recollision. Furthermore, the yield of nonsequential double ionization created by the recollision can be enhanced by controlling the amplitude ratio of the TCCP laser field.     

Generation of XUV attosecond pulses in the process of atomic ionization by few-cycle laser radiation

Ionization of a model two-electron atom in the presence of a strong field of ultrashort laser pulses is investigated using the numerical integration of the nonstationary Schrödinger equation, which describes the dynamics of a quantum system in the presence of an electromagnetic wave. The features of two-electron ionization in the presence of one-and two-cycle pulses are analyzed. The suppression of double ionization in the presence of ultrashort laser pulses related to a finite-time interelectron energy exchange upon the laser action is demonstrated. The features of the generation of high-order harmonics and single XUV attosecond pulses are studied for the atomic ionization by few-cycle laser pulses. The parameters of the laser pulse are optimized for the effective generation of a single XUV attosecond pulse.     

Electric field enhancement at multiple densities in laser-irradiated nanotube plasma

The electric field enhancement inside a nanotube irradiated by intense ultrashort laser pulse (?1?ps) is calculated. The hollowness of the nanotubes determines the field enhancement and the electron density at which such structures exhibit resonance. The electric field in a nanotube plasma is shown to be resonantly enhanced at multiple densities during the two phases of interaction: the ionization phase and the hydrodynamic expansion phase. It is further shown that by a proper choice of hollowness of the nanotubes, a continued occurrence of the resonance over a longer time can be achieved. These properties make nanotubes efficient absorbers of intense ultrashort laser pulses.     

DYNAMICS of H+2 in TWO-COLOR ULTRASHORT LASER PULSE

Numerical simulations of ionization and dissociation processes of hydrogen molecular ion H₂⁺ interacting with two-color intense ( 10¹⁴W/cm²-10¹⁵W/cm²) ultrashort (the duration ≈ 22fs) laser pulse are made. The result shows that the ionization and dissociation processes are strongly dependent upon the relative phase between the two color fields. It means that, in the case of ultrashort pulse, the phase coherence control of ionization and dissociation processes can be realized.     

Correlation function of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays favors point sources

Closed analytical expressions for the probability of multiphoton ionization of atoms and ions by a time-varying electric field ?(t) are obtained by the imaginary time method. These expressions apply for arbitrary values of the Keldysh parameter γ. The dependence of the ionization probability and the photoelectron momentum spectrum on the shape of an ultrashort laser pulse is considered.
