Abstract
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) from the polar diatomic molecule HeH2+ is investigated by time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) in the few-cycle two-color laser (TCL) fields. The impact of the phase difference and inhomogeneity of the TCL fields on HHG was elucidated in this paper. The phase difference affects the rising and falling part and the asymmetry of the TCL field to modulate the occurrence of non-adiabatic redshift. The redshift variations with a period of π as the phase difference changes and the redshift amplitude is the largest when the phase difference is 0.5π. The phase difference also affects the recombination of electrons with adjacent ions, the maximum kinetic energies change increases with the increase of phase difference that can make the high-order harmonic spectrum broaden. The inhomogeneity modifies the laser field distribution, inducing observable modulations in the redshift magnitude of high-order harmonics. Crucially, with a fixed phase difference, controlled enhancement of the inhomogeneity within an optimal range significantly amplifies the redshift. We can optimize of redshift tuning in HHG by these adjustments above.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
