Rare-gas and metal clusters efficiently absorb laser energy through nonlinear resonance, even before linear resonance conditions are met. This mechanism drives outer ionization and energy absorption in few-cycle laser-driven cluster dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Plasma physics
  • Laser-matter interactions
  • Atomic and molecular clusters

Background:

  • Rare-gas and metal clusters exhibit high laser energy absorption.
  • Linear resonance, where Mie plasma frequency equals laser frequency, is a known absorption mechanism.
  • Efficient absorption also occurs in the few-cycle regime, prior to linear resonance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the mechanism of efficient laser energy absorption in clusters during the few-cycle regime.
  • Determine the dominant process driving outer ionization and energy absorption in near-infrared laser-driven clusters at the early stage of dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized particle-in-cell simulations to model cluster dynamics.
  • Retrieved time-dependent oscillator frequencies from simulation data.

  • Analyzed the interplay between laser parameters and cluster response.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified nonlinear resonance as the primary absorption mechanism in the few-cycle regime.
    • Demonstrated that nonlinear resonance drives outer ionization and energy absorption.
    • Showcased the persistence of efficient absorption even when linear resonance conditions are not met.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonlinear resonance is the key mechanism for efficient laser energy absorption and ionization in the early stages of cluster dynamics.
    • This finding extends the understanding of laser-driven cluster interactions beyond the linear resonance regime.
    • Highlights the importance of nonlinear effects in ultrafast laser-cluster interactions.
