We present an experimental study on the photoionization dynamics of non-resonant one-color two-photon single valence ionization of neutral argon atoms. Using 9.3 eV photons produced via high harmonic generation and a 3-D momentum imaging spectrometer, we detect the photoelectrons and ions produced from non-resonant two-photon ionization in coincidence. Photoionization from the $3p$ orbital produces a photoelectron scattering wave function with $p$ and $f$ partial wave components, which interfere and result in a photoelectron angular distribution with peak amplitude perpendicular to the VUV polarization. The comparison between the present results and two previous sets of theoretical calculations [Pan, C. & Starace, A. F. (1991). $textit{Physical Review A}$, 44(1), 324., and Moccia, R., Rahman, N. K., & Rizzo, A. (1983). $textit{Journal of Physics B: Atomic and Molecular Physics}$, 16(15), 2737.] indicates that electron-electron correlation contributes appreciably to the two-photon ionization dynamics.

The development of alternative platforms for computing has been a longstanding goal for physics, and represents a particularly pressing concern as conventional transistors approach the limit of miniaturization. A potential alternatice paradigm is that of reservoir computing, which leverages unknown, but highly non-linear transformations of input-data to perform computations. This has the advantage that many physical systems exhibit precisely the type of non-linear input-output relationships necessary for them to function as reservoirs. Consequently, the quantum effects which obstruct the further development of silicon electronics become an advantage for a reservoir computer. Here we demonstrate that even the most basic constituents of matter - atoms - can act as a reservoir for optical computers, thanks to the phenomenon of High Harmonic Generation (HHG). A prototype single-atom computer for classification problems is proposed, where parameters of the classification model are mapped to optical elements. We numerically demonstrate that this `all-optical computer can successfully classify data with an accuracy that is strongly dependent on dynamical non-linearities. This may pave the way for the development of petahertz information processing platforms.
We present a numerical study of the resonant high harmonic generation by tin ions in an elliptically-polarised laser field along with a simple analytical model revealing the mechanism and main features of this process. We show that the yield of the resonant harmonics behaves anomalously with the fundamental field ellipticity, namely the drop of the resonant harmonic intensity with the fundamental ellipticity is much slower than for high harmonics generated through the nonresonant mechanism. Moreover, we study the polarisation properties of high harmonics generated in elliptically-polarised field and show that the ellipticity of harmonics near the resonance is significantly higher than for ones far off the resonance. This introduces a prospective way to create a source of the quasi-monochromatic coherent XUV with controllable ellipticity potentially up to circular.
We report the observation of multiple ionization of Argon through multi-XUV-photon absorption induced by an unprecedentedly powerful laser driven high-harmonic-generation source. Comparing the measured intensity dependence of the yield of the different Argon charge states with numerical calculations we can infer the different channels -direct and sequential- underlying the interaction. While such studies were feasible so far only with FEL sources, this work connects highly-non-linear-XUV-processes with the ultra-short time scales, inherent to the harmonic pulses, and highlights the advanced perspectives of emerging large scale laser research infrastructures.
We study resonant two-color two-photon ionization of Helium via the 1s3p 1P1 state. The first color is the 15th harmonic of a tunable titanium sapphire laser, while the second color is the fundamental laser radiation. Our method uses phase-locked high-order harmonics to determine the {it phase} of the two-photon process by interferometry. The measurement of the two-photon ionization phase variation as a function of detuning from the resonance and intensity of the dressing field allows us to determine the intensity dependence of the transition energy.
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the photodissociation dynamics of ion-pair formation in O$_2$ following resonant two-photon absorption of a 9.3 eV femtosecond pulse, where the resulting O$^+$ ions are detected using 3-D momentum imaging. Ion-pair formation states of $^3Sigma^-_g$ and $^3Pi_g$ symmetry are accessed through predissociation of optically dark continuum Rydberg states converging to the B $^2Sigma^-_g$ ionic state, which are resonantly populated via a mixture of both parallel-parallel and parallel-perpendicular two-photon transitions. This mixture is evident in the angular distribution of the dissociation relative to the light polarization, and varies with the kinetic energy release (KER) of the fragmenting ion-pair. The KER-dependent photoion angular distribution reveals the underlying two-photon absorption dynamics involved in the ion-pair production mechanism and indicates the existence of two nearly degenerate continuum resonances possessing different symmetries, which can both decay by coupling to ion-pair states of the same total symmetry through internal conversion.
