Abstract
In this research, we employ accurate time-dependent density functional calculations for ultrashort laser spectroscopy of nitrogen molecule. Laser pulses with different frequencies, intensities, and durations are applied to the molecule and the resulting photoelectron spectra are analyzed. It is argued that relative orientation of the molecule in the laser pulse significantly influence the orbital character of the emitted photoelectrons. Moreover, the duration of the laser pulse is also found to be very effective in controlling the orbital resolution and intensity of photoelectrons. Angular resolved distribution of photoelectrons are computed at different pulse frequencies and recording times. By exponential growth of the laser pulse intensity, the theoretical threshold of two photons absorption in nitrogen molecule is determined.
