Abstract: | Photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) from above-threshold ionization of O2 and N2 molecules irradiated by a bichromatic laser field of circular polarization are studied. The bichromatic laser field is specially modulated such that it can be used to mimic a sequence of one-cycle laser pulses. The PADs are greatly affected by the molecular alignment, the symmetry of the initial electronic distribution, and the carrier-envelope phase of the laser pulses. Generally, the PADs do not show any symmetry, and become symmetric about an axis only when the symmetric axis of laser field coincides with the symmetric axis of molecules. This study shows that the few-cycle laser pulses can be used to steer the photoelectrons and perform the selective ionization of molecules. |
