A microscopic model is developed to analyze terahertz (THz) emission after ultrashort one- and two-color laser-pulse excitations of an atomic gas. Optical Bloch equations are derived to describe the pulse-induced ionization in the many-atom system including the Coulombic scattering of the ionized electrons. The model captures the continuous transition between the tunneling and the multiphoton ionization regimes. Numerical evaluations for a wide range of pulse configurations identify optimized excitation conditions for strong THz emission.
开发了一种微观模型,用于分析原子气体在超短单双色激光脉冲激发后的太赫兹(THz)发射。推导了光学布洛赫方程,以描述多原子系统中脉冲诱导的电离,包括电离电子的库仑散射。该模型捕捉了隧穿和多光子电离区域之间的连续转变。对各种脉冲配置的数值评估确定了强太赫兹发射的优化激发条件。
