Rescattering processes for elliptical polarization: A quantum trajectory analysis

Physical review letters·2000

Static electric fields induce unique harmonic generation effects: dichroism in elliptically polarized fields and elliptical polarization from linear fields. These phenomena arise from nonlinear atomic susceptibility interference.

Area of Science:

  • Atomic physics
  • Nonlinear optics
  • Quantum optics

Background:

  • Harmonic generation is a key process in nonlinear optics.
  • Understanding field-induced effects is crucial for controlling light-matter interactions.
  • Static electric fields can influence quantum phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analytically and numerically demonstrate static-electric-field-induced effects on harmonic generation.
  • To investigate elliptic dichroism in harmonic generation.
  • To explore the elliptical polarization of harmonics produced by linearly polarized fields.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical derivations of field-induced effects.
  • Numerical simulations of harmonic generation.
  • Analysis of nonlinear atomic susceptibilities.

Main Results:

  • Observation of elliptical polarization of harmonics from linearly polarized driving fields.
  • Identification of interference between real and imaginary parts of nonlinear atomic susceptibilities as the underlying mechanism.

Conclusions:

  • Static electric fields can induce observable effects on harmonic generation.
  • Elliptic dichroism and elliptical polarization of harmonics are experimentally measurable phenomena.
  • These findings offer new avenues for controlling and understanding light-matter interactions in nonlinear processes.
