    Atomic processes in bicircular fields
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2016) Odžak, S.; Hasović, E.; Becker, W.; Milošević, D.B.
    We investigate laser-assisted electron-ion recombination (LAR), high-order harmonic generation (HHG) and above-threshold ionization (ATI) of argon atoms by a bicircular laser field, which consists of two coplanar counter-rotating circularly polarized fields of frequencies rω and sω. The energy of soft x rays generated in the LAR process is analyzed as a function of the incident electron angle and numerical results of direct recombination of electrons with Ar+ ions are presented. We also present the results of HHG by a bicircular field and confirm the selection rules derived earlier for inert-gas atoms in a p ground state. We show that the photoelectron spectra in the ATI process, presented in the momentum plane, as well as the LAR spectra exhibit the same discrete rotational symmetry as the applied field.

    Electron Rescattering in a Bicircular Laser Field
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Hasović, E.; Becker, W.; Milošević, D.B.
    We investigate high-order above-threshold ionization (HATI) of krypton atoms by a bicircular laser field, which consists of two coplanar co- or counter-rotating circularly polarized fields of frequencies rw and sw. We show that the photoelectron spectra in the HATI process, presented in the momentum plane, exhibit the same discrete rotational symmetry as the driving field. We also analyze HATI spectra for various combinations of the intensities of two field components for co- and counter-rotating fields. We find that the appearance of high-energy plateau for the counter-rotating case is vary sensitive to the laser intensity ratio, while the plateau is always absent for the co-rotating bicircular field.

    High-order harmonic generation by polyatomic molecules
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Odžak, S.; Hasović, E.; Milošević, D.B.
    We present a theory of high-order harmonic generation by arbitrary polyatomic molecules based on the molecular strong-field approximation (MSFA) in the framework of the S-matrix theory. A polyatomic molecule is modeled by an (N + 1)-particle system, which consists of N heavy atomic (ionic) centers and an electron. We derived various versions (with or without the dressing of the initial and/or final molecular state) of the MSFA. The general expression for the T-matrix element takes a simple form for neutral polyatomic molecules. We show the existence of the interference minima in the harmonic spectrum and explain these minima as a multiple-slit type of interference. This is illustrated by numerical examples for the nitrous oxide (N2O) molecule exposed to strong linearly polarized laser field.

    Above-threshold ionization in a bicircular field: Quantum orbits unfolding in a plane
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Becker, W.; Milošević, D.B.
    Above-threshold ionization (ATI) of atoms by a strong bicircular laser field is investigated using the strong-field approximation and the quantum-orbit theory. The bicircular field consists of two coplanar counterrotating circularly polarized fields with a frequency ratio of 2:1. The velocity map of the angle-resolved ATI spectra, both for direct and rescattered electrons, reflects the shape of a parametric plot of the bicircular field and its symmetries. It is shown that the main characteristics of the ATI spectra can be explained using only a few quantum orbits having short travel times. We also analyze a recently discovered [Phys. Rev. A 93, 052402(R) (2016)] bicircular-field-induced spin asymmetry of the ATI electrons and show that the momentum dependence of the spin-asymmetry parameter is stronger for longer wavelengths.

    Unified description of low-order above-threshold ionization on and off axis
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2016) Becker, W.; Milošević, D.B.
    A recently developed unified description of low-order above-threshold ionization (Becker et al 2014 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 47 204022; 2015 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 48 151001) is revisited and extended. By considering the rescattering electron energies and angles at the classical cutoffs and the contributions of particular quantum-orbit solutions, it is shown that summing both the backward- and the forward-scattering contributions, within the low-frequency approximation, it is possible to reproduce the observed features of the ATI spectra both for low and high energies and both on and off the laser-polarization axis in the momentum plane.
