Trajectory analysis of few-cycle strong field ionization in two-color circularly polarized fields

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/ab3444

Abstract

Bichromatic circularly polarized fields provide a useful tool to probe the ionization dynamics. In this work, we compare the photoelectron momentum distribution in few-cycle bichromatic field of different helicities. The spectral features are analyzed with semiclassical trajectories derived from the strong field approximation. In particular, the interference fringes in momentum distribution are investigated by tracking the ionization time and tunneling exits of released photoelectrons. Different types of trajectories that contribute to the interference fringes are elucidated.

Keywords: strong field ionization semiclassical trajectories bicircularly polarized fields photoelectron momentum
