    Control of photoemission delay in resonant two-photon transitions
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Argenti, L.; Jiménez Galán, Á.; Taïeb, R.; Caillat, J.; Maquet, A.; Martín, F.
    Synopsis In contrast to one-photon transitions and non-resonant multiphoton transitions, time delay in resonant multi-photon electron emission can exhibit large positive and negative values that have no scattering equivalent, due to the interference of multiple ionization paths.

    Mapping the Dissociative Ionization Dynamics of Molecular Nitrogen with Attosecond Time Resolution
    (College Park, Md. : APS, 2015) Trabattoni, A.; Klinker, M.; González-Vázquez, J.; Liu, C.; Sansone, G.; Linguerri, R.; Hochlaf, M.; Klei, J.; Vrakking, M. J. J.; Martín, F.; Nisoli, M.; Calegari, F.
    Studying the interaction of molecular nitrogen with extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation is of prime importance to understand radiation-induced processes occurring in Earth’s upper atmosphere. In particular, photoinduced dissociation dynamics involving excited states of N2+ leads to N and N+ atomic species that are relevant in atmospheric photochemical processes. However, tracking the relaxation dynamics of highly excited states of N2+ is difficult to achieve, and its theoretical modeling is notoriously complex. Here, we report on an experimental and theoretical investigation of the dissociation dynamics of N2+ induced by isolated attosecond XUV pulses in combination with few-optical-cycle near-infrared/visible (NIR/VIS) pulses. The momentum distribution of the produced N+ fragments is measured as a function of pump-probe delay with subfemtosecond resolution using a velocity map imaging spectrometer. The time-dependent measurements reveal the presence of NIR/VIS-induced transitions between N2+ states together with an interference pattern that carries the signature of the potential energy curves activated by the XUV pulse. We show that the subfemtosecond characterization of the interference pattern is essential for a semiquantitative determination of the repulsive part of these curves.

    Time–frequency representation of autoionization dynamics in helium
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2018-01-23) Busto, D.; Barreau, L.; Isinger, M.; Turconi, M.; Alexandridi, C.; Harth, A.; Zhong, S.; Squibb, R.J.; Kroon, D.; Plogmaker, S.; Miranda, M.; Jiménez-Galán, Á.; Argenti, L.; Arnold, C.L.; Feifel, R.; Martín, F.; Gisselbrecht, M.; L’Huillier, A.; Salières, P.
    Autoionization, which results from the interference between direct photoionization and photoexcitation to a discrete state decaying to the continuum by configuration interaction, is a well known example of the important role of electron correlation in light–matter interaction. Information on this process can be obtained by studying the spectral, or equivalently, temporal complex amplitude of the ionized electron wave packet. Using an energy-resolved interferometric technique, we measure the spectral amplitude and phase of autoionized wave packets emitted via the sp2+ and sp3+ resonances in helium. These measurements allow us to reconstruct the corresponding temporal profiles by Fourier transform. In addition, applying various time–frequency representations, we observe the build-up of the wave packets in the continuum, monitor the instantaneous frequencies emitted at any time and disentangle the dynamics of the direct and resonant ionization channels.
