Abstract

We characterized field emission from autoionization transition in atomic neon stimulated by isolated attosecond field. The spectrum of the emitted field broadens approximately 1 eV bandwidth, which corresponds to shorter than 2.5 fs-duration.

Attosecond Time-Resolved Autoionization of Argon

He Wang, Michael Chini, Shouyuan Chen +6 more

Autoionization of argon atoms was studied experimentally by transient absorption spectroscopy with isolated attosecond pulses. The peak position, intensity, linewidth, and shape of the 3s3p⁶np ¹P Fano resonance series (26.6-29.2 eV) were modified by intense few-cycle near infrared laser pulses, while the delay between the attosecond pulse and the laser pulse was changed by a few femtoseconds. Numerical simulations revealed that the experimentally observed splitting of the 3s3p⁶4p ¹P line is caused by the coupling between two short-lived highly excited states in the strong laser field.

Enhanced extreme ultraviolet free induction decay emission assisted by attosecond pulses

Abstract We demonstrate that the extreme ultraviolet free induction decay emission can be significantly enhanced by employing isolated attosecond pulses. In this work, the near infrared pulses are applied to excite the neon atoms into Rydberg states coherently, and isolated attosecond pulses are used to manipulate the populations of the Rydberg states and the subsequent free induction decay process. The time resolved experimental measurement of the dependence of the resonance emission yield would help to understand the buildup dynamics of population of excited states. The enhancement assisted by attosecod pulses can serve as a mechanism to develop high-flux extreme ultraviolet light sources.

Experimental observation of ultrashort laser pulse effects on the autoionization dynamics of argon atoms

Arso Ivanovic

Within this work, electron dynamics inside argon atoms are observed by probing the autoionizing states of argon atoms, so-called window resonances, with both attosecond XUV and timed-delayed few-cycle femtosecond NIR laser pulses, using attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The window resonances in the energy region of 25 - 29.3 eV are first excited with the XUV pulse and then dressed by the NIR laser, where the natural decay process of the states is greatly affected by the strong-field of the NIR pulse. Preliminary results of the measurement are presented in this work, with a hypothetical description of some of the effects that are present. A comparison has been made with the experimental results from a paper publishing measurements of autoionizing states with attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy for the first time, where the same resonances were probed. The comparison is only partly possible due to different experimental parameters and conditions, where more pronounced and new effects have been observed in the here performed measurement.
