Optimization of High-Order Harmonic by Genetic Algorithm for the Chirp and Phase of Few-Cycle Pulses

The brightness of a particular harmonic order is optimized for the chirp and initial phase of the laser pulse by genetic algorithm. The influences of the chirp and initial phase of the excitation pulse on the harmonic spectra are discussed in terms of the semi-classical model including the propagation effects. The results indicate that the harmonic intensity and cutoff have strong dependence on the chirp of the laser pulse, but slightly on its initial phase. The high-order harmonics can be enhanced by the optimal laser pulse and its cutoff can be tuned by optimization of the chirp and initial phase of the laser pulse.

Coherent control of non-resonant two-photon transition in molecular system

In this paper,we study theoretically and experimentally the coherent control of non-resonant two-photon transition in a molecular system (Perylene dissolved in chloroform solution) by shaping the femtosecond pulses with simple phase patterns (cosinusoidal and π phase step-function shape).The control efficiency of the two-photon transition probability is correlated with both the laser field and the molecular absorption bandwidth.Our results demonstrate that,the two-photon transition probability in a molecular system can be reduced but not completely eliminated by manipulating the laser field,and the control efficiency is minimal when the molecular absorption bandwidth is larger than twice the laser spectral bandwidth.     

Carrier－Envelop Phase－Dependent Effect on Photoelectron Angular Distribution in Single－Cycle Laser Pulses ＊

Using a nonperturbative scattering theory, We study the photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) of Kr atoms irradiated by an infinite sequence of intense single-cycle pulses of circular polarization. We demonstrate the inversion asymmetry of PADs and the dependence of PADs on the carrier-envelop phase of the single-cycle pulses. The inversion asymmetry is caused by the interference between transition channels where the different channels are characterized by different combinations of absorbed-photon numbers in the ionization process. Our results provide a possible method to determine the value of carrier-envelop phase by the detected PADs.     

Polarization and phase control of two-photon absorption in an isotropic molecular system

<正>We theoretically and experimentally study the polarization and phase control of two-photon absorption in an isotropic molecular system.We theoretically show that the two-photon transition probability decreases when the laser polarization changes from linear through elliptical to circular,and the laser polarization does not affect the control efficiency of two-photon transition probability by shaping the spectral phase.These theoretical results are experimentally confirmed in coumarin 480.Furthermore,we propose that the combination of the laser polarization with the spectral phase modulation can further increase the control efficiency of the two-photon absorption.

High-Resolution Selective Excitation of Resonance-Enhanced Multiphoton-Ionization Photoelectron Spectroscopy by Shaping Femtosecond Laser Pulses

Femtosecond laser-induced resonance-enhanced multiphoton-ionization photoelectron spectroscopy （REMPI-PS） is faced with two drawbacks of low spectral resolution and poor selective excitation due to the broad spectral bandwidth. We propose a scheme to obtain a high-resolution selective excitation of （2＋1） REMPI-PS by com- bining 7r and cosinusoidal phase modulation. Our theoretical results indicate that the （2＋1） REMPI-PS signals related to neighboring excited states can be differentiated from their indistinguishable photoelectron spectra by the 7r phase modulation, and then their selective excitation can be realized by supplementally adding the cosi- nusoidal phase modulation. Furthermore, the physical mechanism of the high-resolution selective excitation of （2＋1） REMPI-PS is explained by considering the two-photon power spectrum.

Dispersion Theory of Polaron in a Parabolic Quantum Dot at Finite Temperatures

By using the dispersion theory instead of the Fröhlich Hamiltonian, the polaron energy in a quantum dot with a parabolic confinement potential is investigated at finite temperatures. It is found that the self-trapping energy of the polaron decreases with the increasing temperature, and the temperature effect is more obvious in quantum dots with weaker confinement.     

Plasma-induced spatiotemporal modulation of propagating femtosecond pulses

The dynamics of the femtosecond pulse propagation in a plasma channel is investigated by the pump-probe longitudinal diffractometry and second harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHG-FROG) technique. The spatial characteristics, corresponding to the electronic density and the size of the channel, can be observed by the recorded ring pattern, and the spectral and temporal characteristics are recorded by the SHG-FROG traces. The spatiotemporal characteristics will help us to better understand the dynamics of the plasma induced by the femtosecond pulse and the femtosecond pulse propagating in the plasma channel.
