摘要

High harmonic generation by atoms and the stabilization of atoms are two intense-field phenomena that have been studied extensively in recent years. Harmonic generation can be understood qualitatively in terms of a semi-classical, three-step model. In this so-called simpleman's model", the active electron of the atom or ion is first detached by tunneling through an effective potential barrier formed by the instanta leous electric field of the laser pulse and the potential that binds the electron. The ejected electron is then assumed to move like a free particle in the electric field of the incident laser pulse. As the field reverses, the electron can re-collide with the core and recombine radiatively. A fully quantum mechanical description of harmonic generation that incorporates the essential ideas of the semi-classical model has been developed by Lewenstein and co-workers. Stabilization in the high-intensity, high-frequency regime can, on the other hand, be understood with the help of the high-frequency Floquet theory (HFFT) developed by Gavrila and co-workers. First, a transformation is made to the rest frame of a classical electron in the laser field. In this Kramers-Henneberger (K-H) frame, the electron experiences an effective time-dependent Coulomb potential that oscillates in space. Gavrila and co-workers have shown that in a stationary field, to first approximation, the dynamics of the atom in the field are governed by the time-average of this potential. This theory can be modified to accommodate the non-adiabatic evolution of the atom in a short laser pulse and, if the turn-on of the laser pulse is short enough, the electron wavepacket dynamics is essentially those of a free electron in the pulse. At high laser intensities, these relatively simple descriptions of harmonic generation and stabilization, respectively, can break down sinee non-dipole and relativistic effects must be accounted for. Indeed, for only moderately high intensities, the magnetic field component of the laser pulse cannot be a priori neglected. This magnetic field induces a drift in the laser propagation direction that, for a free classical electron, can be quite large. If taken literally, the semi-classical model of harmonic generation predicts no harmonic generation beyond the dipole approximation since an ejected electron would never return to the core. Similarly, in the high-frequency regime, a K-H transformation to the rest frame of an oscillating and drifting electron in a laser pulse would imply that the Coulomb potential moves away from the electron during the pulse. This, in turn, would affect the stabilization of the atom in the laser pulse. Obviously, these observations are oversimplified. However, we will show that the magnetic f eld component of an intense laser pulse can indeed strongly influence both high harmonic generation and stabilization.
