Extraction of XUV+IR ionization amplitudes from the circular dichroic phase
arXiv:2306.04864 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.L012002
Abstract
A strong helicity dependence of reconstruction of attosecond bursts by beating of two-photon transitions (RABBITT) with circularly polarized XUV and IR pulses was reported by Han et al. [Nature Physics 19, 230 and arXiv 2302.04137 (2023)]. They attributed a circular dichroic phase in RABBITT to the helical structure of the photoelectron wave packets in the final state. We exploit this effect to determine the magnitude and phase of two-photon XUV+IR ionization amplitudes. In s-electron targets (H, He, Li), such a determination is fully ab initio and free from any instrumental limitations. In heavier noble gases like Ar, characterization of two-photon ionization amplitudes can be made from the circular dichroic phase with minimal and very realistic assumptions.
