Phase delays in above-threshold ionization
arXiv:2107.12414 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.104.043113
Abstract
Relative phases of atomic above-threshold ionization wavepackets have been investigated in a recent experiment [L. J. Zipp, A. Natan, and P. H. Bucksbaum, Optica \textbf{1}, 361-364 (2014)] exploiting interferences between different pathways in a weak probe field at half the frequency of the strong ionization pulse. In this work we theoretically explore the extraction of phase delays and time delays of attosecond wavepackets formed in strong-field ionization. We perform simulations solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and compare these results with the strong-field and Coulomb-Volkov approximations. In order to disentangle short- from long- ranged effects of the atomic potential we also perform simulations for atomic model potentials featuring a Yukawa-type short-range potential. We find significant deviations of the \textit{ab-initio} phase delays between different photoelectron pathways from the predictions by the strong-field approximation even at energies well above the ionization threshold. We identify similarities but also profound differences to the well-known interferometric extraction of phase- and time delays in one-photon ionization.
