Controlling nonsequential double ionization via two-color few-cycle pulses

Opt Express. 2010 Jan 18;18(2):632-8. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.000632.

Abstract

Using the classical three-dimensional ensembles, we have demonstrated the controlling of dynamics in nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of helium by two-color few-cycle pulses. By changing the relative phase of the two pulses, recollisions leading to NSDI can be restricted in a time interval of several hundreds attosecond nearly before the field extremum and as a result, the correlated electron momentum distribution exhibits a so-far unobserved narrow arc-like structure. This structure reveals a novel energy correlation between the two electrons from NSDI by two-color few-cycle pulses.
