Contribution of the pre-ionized H $_{2}$ and the ionized H $_{2}^{+}$ subsystems to the HHG Spectra of H $_{2}$ in intense laser fields

Abstract

Contributions of the pre-ionized H $_{2}$ (PI-H $_{2}$ ) and ionized H $_{2}^{+}$ subsystems of the two-electron H $_{2}$ system to its high-order harmonic generation in 8-cycle $sin^{2}$ -like ultrafast intense laser pulses are calculated and analyzed based on the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) for the one-dimensional two-electronic H $_{2}$ system with fixed nuclei. The laser pulses have $λ = 390 & 532$ nm wavelengths and $I = 1 \times 1 0^{14}$ , 5 $\times 1 0^{14}$ , 1 $\times 1 0^{15}$ \&\ 5 $\times 1 0^{15}$ Wcm $^{- 2}$ intensities. It is found that at the two lower intensities, the PI-H $_{2}$ subsystem dominantly produces the HHG spectra. While, at the two higher intensities, both PI-H $_{2}$ and ionized H $_{2}^{+}$ subsystems contribute comparably to the HHG spectra. In the H $_{2}^{+}$ subsystem, the symmetry of the populations of H $_{2}^{+}$ (I) and H $_{2}^{+}$ (II) regions (left and right regions of H $_{2}^{+}$ subsystem) is broken by increasing the laser intensity. Complex patterns and even harmonics also appear at these two higher intensities. For instance, at $1 \times 1 0^{15}$ Wcm $^{- 2}$ intensity and $λ$ = 532 nm, the even harmonics are appeared near cut-off region. Interestingly, at $5 \times 1 0^{15}$ Wcm $^{- 2}$ intensity and $λ$ = 390 nm, the even harmonics replaced by the odd harmonics with red shift. At $λ$ = 390 \&\ 532 nm and $I = 1 \times 1 0^{15}$ intensity, the two-electron cutoffs corresponding to nonsequential double-recombination (NSDR) with maximum return kinetic energy of 4.70 $U_{p}$ are detected. The HHG spectra of the whole H $_{2}$ system obtained with and without nuclear dynamics treated classically are approximately similar. However, at $1 \times 1 0^{15}$ Wcm $^{- 2}$ intensity and $λ$ = 532 nm, if we take into account nuclear dynamics, the even harmonics which are appeared near cutoff region, replaced by the odd harmonics with blue shift.
