Laser-assisted Fano resonance: attosecond quantum control and dynamical imaging
arXiv:2302.04090 · doi:10.34133/ultrafastscience.0091
Abstract
A Fano resonance arises from the pathway interference between discrete and continuum states, playing a fundamental role in many branches of physics, chemistry and material science. Here, we introduce the concept of a laser-assisted Fano resonance, created from two interferometric pathways that are coupled together by an additional laser field, which introduces a controllable phase delay between them and results in a generalized Fano lineshape that can be actively controlled on the {\it attosecond} time scale. Based on our experimental results of unprecedented resolution, we dynamically image a resonant electron wave packet during its evolution directly in the time domain, extracting both the amplitude and the phase, which allows for the measurement of the {\it resonant} photoionization time delay. Ab-initio calculations and simulations employing a physically transparent two-level model agree with our experimental results, laying the groundwork for extending our concepts into attosecond quantum control of complex systems.
