Two-Color Attosecond Chronoscope

Abstract

We study ionization of atoms in strong orthogonal two-color ($\omega ,2\omega$) (OTC) laser fields numerically and analytically. The calculated photoelectron momentum distribution shows two typical structures: a rectangular-like structure and a shoulder-like structure, the positions of which depend on the laser parameters. Using a strong-field model which allows us to quantitatively evaluate the Coulomb effect, we show that these two structures arise from attosecond response of electron inside an atom to light in OTC-induced photoemission. Some simple mappings between the locations of these structures and response time are derived, with which we are able to establish two-color attosecond chronoscope with high resolution for timing electron emission in OTC-based precise manipulation.
