Divalent Rydberg atoms in optical lattices: intensity landscape and magic trapping
Turker Topcu, Andrei Derevianko
We develop a theoretical understanding of trapping divalent Rydberg atoms in optical lattices. Because the size of the Rydberg electron cloud can be comparable to the scale of spat…
Phase-dependent interference fringes in the wavelength scaling of harmonic efficiency
I. Yavuz, E. A. Bleda, Z. Altun +1
We describe phase-dependent wavelength scaling of high-order harmonic generation efficiency driven by ultra-short laser fields in the mid-infrared. We employ both numerical solutio…
High-order harmonic generation from Rydberg states at fixed Keldysh parameter
E. A. Bleda, I. Yavuz, Z. Altun +1
Because the commonly adopted viewpoint that the Keldysh parameter determines the dynamical regime in strong field physics has long been demonstrated to be misleading, one can a…
Dynamic polarizability of Rydberg atoms: Applicability of near-free electron approximation, gauge invariance and the Dirac sea
Turker Topcu, Andrei Derevianko
Ponderomotive energy shifts experienced by Rydberg atoms in optical fields are known to be well approximated by the classical quiver energy of a free electron. We examine such ener…
Tune-out wavelengths and landscape modulated polarizabilities of alkali Rydberg atoms in infrared optical lattices
Turker Topcu, Andrei Derevianko
Intensity modulated optical lattice potentials can change sign for an alkali metal Rydberg atom, and the atoms are not always attracted to intensity minima in optical lattices with…
Intensity landscape and the possibility of magic trapping of alkali Rydberg atoms in infrared optical lattices
Turker Topcu, Andrei Derevianko
Motivated by compelling advances in manipulating cold Rydberg (Ry) atoms in optical traps, we consider the effect of large extent of Ry electron wave function on trapping potential…
