    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.

    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.

    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.
