Photoelectron emission via time and phase-tailored electromagnetic fields

Abstract

The energy and the angular distributions of photoelectrons are shown to be tunable by choosing the time and the spatial phase structure of the driving fields. These conclusions are derived from quantum mechanical calculations done within a single-active electron model for an atomic target subjected to a combination of laser field and a time-asymmetric THz pulse and/or vortex-laser pulse with a spatially modulated phase of the wavefront.
