摘要: The photoionization of a hydrogen atom from its ground state with ultra-fast chirped pulses is investigated by numerically solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation within length, velocity, and Kramers-Henneberger gauges. Converged results for all gauges for chirp-free pulses agree with the prediction of dynamic interference for ground state hydrogen atoms predicted recently by Jiang and Burgdörfer[Opt. Express 26, 19921 (2018)]. In addition, we investigated photoelectron spectra of hydrogen atoms by chirped laser pulses, and showed that dynamic interference effect will be weaken for pulses with increasing linear chirp. Our numerical results can be understood and discussed in terms of an interplay of photoelectron wavepackets from first and second halves of laser enevelop, including the ac Stark energy level shift of the photoelectron final state and atomic stabilization effect at ultra-high intensities.
