We study propagation effects due to the finite speed of light in ionization of extended systems. We present a general quantitative theory of these effects and show under which conditions such effects should appear. The finite speed of light propagation effects are encoded in the non-dipole terms of the time-dependent Shrodinger equation and display themselves in the photoelectron momentum distribution projected on the molecular axis. Our numerical modeling for the Hp molecular ion and the Ne dimer shows that the finite light propagation time from one atomic center to another can be accurately determined in a table top laser experiment which is much more readily affordable than an earlier synchrotron measurement by Grundmann {em et al} [Science 370, 339 (2020)]

We present here an analysis of the influence of the frequency dependence of the Raman laser light shifts on the phase of a Raman-type atom gravimeter. Frequency chirps are applied to the Raman lasers in order to compensate gravity and ensure the reso nance of the Raman pulses during the interferometer. We show that the change in the Raman light shift when this chirp is applied only to one of the two Raman lasers is enough to bias the gravity measurement by a fraction of $mu$Gal ($1~mu$Gal~=~$10^{-8}$~m/s$^2$). We also show that this effect is not compensated when averaging over the two directions of the Raman wavevector $k$. This thus constitutes a limit to the rejection efficiency of the $k$-reversal technique. Our analysis allows us to separate this effect from the effect of the finite speed of light, which we find in perfect agreement with expected values. This study highlights the benefit of chirping symmetrically the two Raman lasers.
We apply a fundamental definition of time delay, as the difference between the time a particle spends within a finite region of a potential and the time a free particle spends in the same region, to determine results for photoionization of an electro n by an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) laser field using numerical simulations on a grid. Our numerical results are in good agreement with those of the Wigner-Smith time delay, obtained as the derivative of the phase shift of the scattering wave packet with respect to its energy, for the short-range Yukawa potential. In case of the Coulomb potential we obtain time delays for any finite region, while - as expected - the results do not converge as the size of the region increases towards infinity. The impact of an ultrashort near-infrared probe pulse on the time delay is analyzed for both the Yukawa as well as the Coulomb potential and is found to be small for intensities below $10^{13}$ W/cm$^2$.
The importance of multi-electron dynamics during the tunnel ionization of a correlated quantum system is investigated. By comparison of the solution of the time-dependent Schru007fodinger equation (TDSE) with the time-dependent configuration interact ion singles approach (TDCIS), we demonstrate the importance of a multi-electron description of the tunnel ionization process especially for weakly confined quantum systems. Within this context, we observe that adiabatic driving by an intense light field can even enhance the correlations between still trapped electrons.
Strong-field ionization of atoms by circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses produces a donut-shaped electron momentum distribution. Within the dipole approximation this distribution is symmetric with respect to the polarization plane. The magne tic component of the light field is known to shift this distribution forward. Here, we show that this magnetic non-dipole effect is not the only non-dipole effect in strong-field ionization. We find that an electric non-dipole effect arises that is due to the position dependence of the electric field and which can be understood in analogy to the Doppler effect. This electric non-dipole effect manifests as an increase of the radius of the donut-shaped photoelectron momentum distribution for forward-directed momenta and as a decrease of this radius for backwards-directed electrons. We present experimental data showing this fingerprint of the electric non-dipole effect and compare our findings with a classical model and quantum calculations.
Hartree-Fock atom in a strong electric static field is considered. It is demonstrated that exchange between outer and inner electrons, taken into account by the so-called Fock term affects strongly the long-range behavior of the inner electron wave f unction. As a result, it dramatically increases its probability to be ionized. A simple model is analyzed demonstrating that the decay probability, compared to the case of a local (Hartree) atomic potential, increases by many orders of magnitude. As a result of such increase, the ratio of inner to outer electrons ionization probability became not too small. It is essential that the effect of exchange upon probability of inner electron ionization by strong electric field is proportional to the square of the number of outer electrons. It signals that in clusters the inner electron ionization by strong field, the very fact of which is manifested by e.g. high energy quanta emission, has to be essentially increased as compared to this process in gaseous atomic objects.
