Abstract

We provide a unified concept for understanding and imaging excited state dynamics in atoms and molecules in intense laser fields, including microscopic description of high order Kerr non-linearities and their role in laser filamentation.

The role of the Kramers–Henneberger atom in the higher-order Kerr effect

Maria Richter, Serguei Patchkovskii, Felipe Morales +2 more

We discuss the connection between strong-field ionization, saturation of the Kerr response and the formation of the Kramers–Henneberger (KH) atom and long-living excitations in intense infrared (IR) external fields. We present a generalized model for the intensity-dependent response of atoms in strong IR laser fields, describing deviations in the nonlinear response at the frequency of the driving field from the standard model. We show that shaping the driving laser pulse allows one to reveal signatures of the excited KH states in the Kerr response of an individual atom.
