Attosecond Transient Polarimetry

Nicola Mayer, Kylie Gannan, Stephen R Leone +1

We introduce elliptical-dichroic attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (eDATAS), an ultrafast attosecond spectroscopy technique in which an atomic gas is probed by elliptica…

Chiral moments make chiral measures

Emilio Pisanty, Nicola Mayer, Andrés Ordóñez +2

We develop a family of chiral measures to quantify the chirality of a distribution and assign it a handedness. Our measures are built using the tensorial moments of the distributio…

Enantiosensitive exceptional points in open chiral systems

Nicola Mayer, Alexander Löhr, Nimrod Moiseyev +2

Exceptional points (EPs) are remarkable spectral degeneracies in a non-Hermitian system's parameter space, where both eigenvalues and eigenstates coalesce. Here, we show that in no…

Attosecond Optical Orientation

Lauren B Drescher, Nicola Mayer, Kylie Gannan +2

Circularly polarized light offers opportunities to probe symmetry-dependent properties of matter such as chirality and spin. Circular dichroism measurements typically require furth…

Enantiosensitive exceptional points

Nicola Mayer, Nimrod Moiseyev, Olga Smirnova

We show that the position of the exceptional points (EPs) in the parameter space of a chiral molecule coupled to the photoionization continuum by a three-color field is enantiosens…

Chiral topological light for detecting robust enantio-sensitive observables

Nicola Mayer, David Ayuso, Piero Decleva +4

The topological response of matter to electromagnetic fields is a property in high demand in materials design and metrology due to its robustness against noise and decoherence, sti…

Role of Spin-Orbit Coupling in High-order Harmonic Generation Revealed by Super-Cycle Rydberg Trajectories

Nicola Mayer, Samuel Beaulieu, Alvaro Jimenez-Galan +7

High-harmonic generation is typically thought of as a sub-laser-cycle process, with the electron's excursion in the continuum lasting a fraction of the optical cycle. However, it w…

Imprinting chirality on atoms using synthetic chiral light fields

Nicola Mayer, Serguei Patchkovskii, Felipe Morales +2

Atoms are usually thought of as achiral objects. However, one can construct superpositions of atomic states that are chiral [1]. Here we show how to excite such superpositions with…

Interference stabilization of autoionizing states in molecular studied by time- and angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy

Martin Eckstein, Nicola Mayer, Chung-Hsin Yang +4

An autoionizing resonance in molecular N is excited by an ultrashort XUV pulse and probed by a subsequent weak IR pulse, which ionizes the contributing Rydberg states. Time- an…
