“…In ATI, the spatial inhomogeneity can result in the higher-energy structure in the photoelectron energy spectrum [34]. The underlying electron dynamics process driven by the inhomogeneous field has been revealed with the classical trajectory or quantum orbital model [34][35][36][37].…”

“…Recently, the spatially structured field, i.e. the optical near field when a laser pulse is illuminated on a nanostructure [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], has attracted much interesting in control the electron dynamics in strong laser field. The laser field undergoes an exponential increase in intensity as the ionized electron moves closer to the nanotips.…”

We theoretically investigated frustrated tunneling ionization (FTI) driven by spatially inhomogeneous strong laser fields induced by surface plasmon resonance within a bow-tie metal nanostructure. The results show that the FTI probability and the principal quantum number distribution exhibit similar oscillatory behavior as a function of the pulse duration. Our analysis reveals that the periodic defocusing and refocusing of the electron spatial distribution due to the inhomogeneous laser field is responsible for the oscillatory structures. In addition, the initial tunneling coordinates and the angular momentum distributions of the FTI events and theirs pulse duration dependence are also explored. Moreover, our results show that the frequency of the oscillatory structures depends sensitively on the electron quiver amplitude and the inhomogeneity strength. Thus, the electron quiver amplitude and the size of the gap between the bow-tie nanostructure are useful and efficient knobs for controlling the yield and properties of exited Rydberg states.
