    Interference structure of above-threshold ionization versus above-threshold detachment
    (Bristol : IOP, 2012) Korneev, Ph.A.; Popruzhenko, S.V.; Goreslavski, S.P.; Becker, W.; Paulus, G.G.; Fetić, B.; Milošević, D.B.
    Laser-induced electron detachment or ionization of atoms and negative ions is considered. In the context of the saddle-point evaluation of the strong-field approximation (SFA), the velocity maps of the direct electrons (those that do not undergo rescattering) exhibit a characteristic structure due to the constructive and destructive interference of electrons liberated from their parent atoms/ions within certain windows of time. This structure is defined by the above-threshold ionization rings at fixed electron energy and by two sets of curves in momentum space on which destructive interference occurs. The spectra obtained with the SFA are compared with those obtained by numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. For detachment, the agreement is excellent. For ionization, the effect of the Coulomb field is most pronounced for electrons emitted in a direction close to laser polarization, while for nearperpendicular emission the qualitative appearance of the spectrum is unaffected.

    Molecular above-threshold ionization spectra as an evidence of the three-point interference of electron wave packets
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2015) Hasović, Elvedin; Milošević, Dejan B.; Gazibegović-Busuladži, Azra; Čerkić, Aner; Busuladžić, Mustafa
    We consider high-order above-threshold ionization (HATI) of polyatomic molecules ionized by a strong linearly polarized laser field. Improved molecular strong-field approximation by which the HATI process on polyatomic molecular species can be described is developed. Using this theory we calculate photoelectron angular-energy spectra for different triatomic molecules. Special attention is devoted to the minima that are observed in the calculated high-energy electron spectra of the ozone and carbon dioxide molecules. A key difference between these minima and minima that are observed in the corresponding spectra of diatomic molecules are presented.

    Nondipole effects in terahetz-pulse-assisted strong-field ionization
    (Washington, DC : Soc., 2022) Milošević, Dejan B.; Habibović, Dino
    Nondipole effects in processes assisted by a THz field having the strength of a few MV/cm can be significant due to its long wavelength. We illustrate this for strong-laser-field-induced ionization assisted by a THz field. To this end, we generalize our strong-field-approximation theory so that it includes the first-order term in a 1/c expansion of the vector potential. We show that in this case, in addition to a shift of the maximum of the photoelectron momentum distribution, the differential ionization probability as well as the cutoff energy can be significantly increased. For an explanation of these unexpected results we use the saddle-point method adjusted to include nondipole effects.
