    Robust transverse structures in rescattered photoelectron wavepackets and their consequences
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2020) Bredtmann, T.; Patchkovskii, S.
    Initial-state symmetry has been under-appreciated in strong-field spectroscopies, where laser fields dominate the dynamics. We demonstrate numerically that the transverse photoelectron phase structure, arising from the initial-state symmetry, is robust in strong-field rescattering, and has pronounced effects on strong-field photoelectron spectra. Interpretation of rescattering experiments need to take these symmetry effects into account. In turn, robust transverse photoelectron phase structures may enable attosecond sub-Ångström super-resolution imaging with structured electron beams.

    General Time-Dependent Configuration-Interaction Singles II: The Atomic Case
    (Woodbury, NY : Inst., 2022-10-10) Carlström, Stefanos; Bertolino, Mattias; Dahlström, Jan Marcus; Patchkovskii, Serguei
    We present a specialization of the grid-based implementation of the time-dependent configuration-interaction singles described in the preceding paper [S. Carlström et al., preceding paper, Phys. Rev. A 106, 043104 (2022)]. to the case of spherical symmetry. We describe the intricate time propagator in detail and conclude with a few example calculations. Among these, of note are high-resolution photoelectron spectra in the vicinity of the Fano resonances in photoionization of neon and spin-polarized photoelectrons from xenon, in agreement with recent experiments.

    High-order parametric generation of coherent XUV radiation
    (Washington, DC : Soc., 2021) Hort, O.; Dubrouil, A.; Khokhlova, M.A.; Descamps, D.; Petit, S.; Burgy, F.; Mével, E.; Constant, E.; Strelkov, V.V.
    Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation finds numerous applications in spectroscopy. When the XUV light is generated via high-order harmonic generation (HHG), it may be produced in the form of attosecond pulses, allowing access to unprecedented ultrafast phenomena. However, the HHG efficiency remains limited. Here we present an observation of a new regime of coherent XUV emission which has a potential to provide higher XUV intensity, vital for applications. We explain the process by high-order parametric generation, involving the combined emission of THz and XUV photons, where the phase matching is very robust against ionization. This introduces a way to use higher-energy driving pulses, thus generating more XUV photons.

    Attosecond investigation of extreme-ultraviolet multi-photon multi-electron ionization
    (Washington, DC : OSA, 2022) Kretschmar, M.; Hadjipittas, A.; Major, B.; Tümmler, J.; Will, I.; Nagy, T.; Vrakking, M. J. J.; Emmanouilidou, A.; Schütte, B.
    Multi-electron dynamics in atoms and molecules very often occur on sub- to few-femtosecond time scales. The available intensities of extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond pulses have previously allowed the time-resolved investigation of two-photon, two-electron interactions. Here we study double and triple ionization of argon atoms involving the absorption of up to five XUV photons using a pair of intense attosecond pulse trains (APTs). By varying the time delay between the two APTs with attosecond precision and the spatial overlap with nanometer precision, we obtain information on complex nonlinear multi-photon ionization pathways. Our experimental and numerical results show that Ar2+ is predominantly formed by a sequential two-photon process, whereas the delay dependence of the Ar3+ ion yield exhibits clear signatures of the involvement of a simultaneous two-photon absorption process. Our experiment suggests that it is possible to investigate multi-electron dynamics using attosecond pulses for both pumping and probing the dynamics.
