Ionization of argon by two-color laser pulses with coherent phase control

Abstract: We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of ionization of argon atoms by a linearly polarized two-color laser field (λ 1 = 800 nm, λ 2 = 400 nm). Changing the relative phase ϕ between the two colors, the forward-backward asymmetry of the doubly differential momentum distribution of emitted electrons can be controlled. We find excellent agreement between the measurements and the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in the single-active electron approximation. Surprisingly we also fin… Show more

“…For the laser parameters of Fig. 1 n α ≈ 12 and the dominant angular momenta of these states have been found to be close to L ≈ √ 2F 0 /ω = 6 [22]. In the presence of the weak dc field F dc , Rydberg states very close to the continuum threshold and well above the potential barrier can be ionized.…”

“…When ions recapture electrons released during the laser pulse, high-n states of the atom with n n α = √ α are populated [11,22] with α = F 0 /ω 2 ir the quiver amplitude (atomic units are used throughout unless otherwise noted). For the laser parameters of Fig.…”

“…Simple models based on the concept of electron trajectory have been developed in order to describe these phenomena. A well-known example demonstrating the great utility of such models is the famous simple man model (SMM)23456, reproducing many qualitative features of strong field phenomena. The semiclassical TIPIS (tunnel ionization in parabolic coordinates with induced dipole and Stark shift) model578 is known to produce quite accurate quantitative results567910.…”

“…In the TIPIS and similar approaches, the quantum-mechanical Keldysh theory and its modifications11112131415 provide initial velocity distributions679 for the subsequent classical electron motion. The initial value of the coordinate is defined either by the Field Direction Model (FDM)10 or, in a more refined approach based on use of the parabolic coordinate system16, as a point at which electron emerges from under the barrier.…”

The two-colour light field has been extensively employed in strong field science. However, most of the published works were performed in the parallel polarised two-colour field scheme or the orthogonally polarised two-colour field scheme [1][2][3][4]. In this work, we measure the photoelectron momentum distributions of Ar atoms in cross linearly polarised two-colour (800 nm + 400 nm) laser field with an angle of 45 • .
