Phase evolution of strong-field ionization
arXiv:2502.19010 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.7.L022074
Abstract
We investigate the time-dependent evolution of the dipole phase shift induced by strong-field ionization (SFI) using attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) for time-delays where the pump-probe pulses overlap. We study measured and calculated time-dependent ATA spectra of the ionic 4d-5p transition in xenon, and present the time-dependent line shape parameters in the complex plane. We attribute the complex, attosecond-scale dynamics to the contribution of three distinct processes: accumulation of ionization, transient population, and reversible population of excited states arising from polarization of the ground state.
