Phase retrieval from angular streaking of XUV atomic ionization
arXiv:2202.06147 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.106.033106
Abstract
We demonstrate an accurate phase retrieval of XUV atomic ionization by streaking the photoelectron in a circularly polarized IR laser field. The streaking phase can then be converted to the atomic time delay containing the Wigner and continuum-continuum components. Our demonstration is based on a numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. We test this technique using the hydrogen atom ionized by an isolated attosecond XUV pulse across a wide range of photon energies. In parallel, we run a series of RABBITT simulations and demonstrate equivalence of the phase and timing information provided by the two methods. This validates the proposed technique and makes it a useful tool that can be applied to a broad range of atomic and molecular targets exposed to XUV radiation from novel free-electron laser sources.
