空间非均匀激光场驱动的原子非次序双电离

利用三维经典系综模型,研究空间非均匀激光场驱动的氙原子非次序双电离,并对比了空间均匀激光场的情况.结果显示,波长较短时,空间非均匀激光场与空间均匀激光场的非次序双电离的产率较为相近.随着波长的增大,较高激光强度时空间非均匀激光场下非次序双电离受到越来越明显的抑制.相比于空间均匀激光场,空间非均匀激光场下非次序双电离两电子的末态发射角表现出更强烈的关联特性,特别在较大的激光波长下,两电子的末态发射角几乎全部集中在0°附近,这意味着两电子往往是平行发射到相同方向.此外,波长由近红外增大到中红外时,空间非均匀激光场下非次序双电离的有效再碰撞均由第1个电子的第1次返回主导,而空间均匀激光场下则呈现由第1次返回主导到第2次返回主导的转变.进一步,通过反演分析非次序双电离的经典轨迹,揭示了空间非均匀激光场下关联电子超快动力学过程的更多细节.     

强激光场下原子超快动力学过程中的能量交换

利用三维经典系综模型,研究了整个系综两电子(Ar原子为例)从激光场吸收的能量对激光参数(波长、激光强度和椭偏率)的依赖关系.结果显示,当激光强度固定,波长增加时,整个系综两电子从激光场吸收的能量整体呈上升趋势,但不同强度下趋势略有差异.在较低强度时整个系综两电子从激光场吸收的能量对波长的依赖关系呈现持续平稳增加的趋势,在较高强度时呈现先缓慢减小再快速增大的趋势.对强度的依赖关系在不同波长时呈现两个有趣的交叉点.对椭偏率的依赖关系在较低强度时呈现先逐渐减小再缓慢增大的趋势;在中等强度时呈现一个“阶梯型”即先缓慢增大再逐渐减小最后缓慢增大;在更高强度时呈现先逐渐增大再逐渐减小的趋势.为了解释整个系综两电子从激光场吸收的能量对激光参数的依赖关系,把整个系综的动力学过程分为双电离、单电离、受挫单电离和受挫双电离4种通道.然后分析各个通道的特征及其如何主导整个系综两电子从激光场吸收的能量的变化趋势.分析结果表明,整个系综两电子从激光场吸收的能量对波长、激光强度和椭偏率的依赖均是由于某种通道主导整个系综两电子从激光场吸收的能量的结果.     

Multiple recollisions in nonsequential double ionization below the recollision-ionization threshold

By using the three-dimensional classical ensemble model, the recollision dynamics in nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of Ar by 780-nm laser pulses at (6-1.2)×10¹⁴ W/cm² was extensively studied. We revealed the picture of multiple-recollision in the double ionization events at the laser intensity region below the recollision-ionization threshold. Via tracing the NSDI trajectories, it was found that the contribution of these multiple-recollision events increases as the laser intensity decreases. In this low intensity region, many multiple-recollision induced NSDI trajectories occur through the doubly excited states. The decay speed of the doubly excited state decreases with the decreasing laser intensity.     

Manipulating Nonsequential Double Ionization of Argon Atoms via Orthogonal Two-Color Field

Using a three-dimensional classical ensemble model, we investigate the dependence of relative frequency and relative initial phase for nonsequential double ionization(NSDI) of atoms driven by orthogonal two-color(OTC)fields. Our findings reveal that the NSDI probability is clearly dependent on the relative initial phase of OTC fields at different relative frequencies. The inversion analysis results indicate that adjusting the relative frequency of OTC fields helps control returning probability a...     

Electron dynamics of molecular frustrated double ionization driven by strong laser fields

We theoretically investigate the frustrated double ionization(FDI) of molecules with different alignment-dependence using a three-dimensional classical ensemble method. The numerical results show that the FDI probability decreases with increasing wavelength, which is similar to the wavelength dependence of the FDI probability of atoms. Tracing the classical trajectories reveals that the contributions to molecular FDI from single-recollision and multiple-recollision mechanisms are equal in the sh...
