Correlation analysis of frustrated tunneling ionization

Abstract

We visualize frustrated tunneling ionization (FTI) using the correlation function analysis outlined in our preceding works [I. Ivanov and K. T. Kim, J. Phys. B 55, 055001 (2022)0953-407510.1088/1361-6455/ac5813; Sci. Rep. 12, 19533 (2022)2045-232210.1038/s41598-022-24168-8]. We apply this technique to the hydrogen atom subjected to a strong laser field. Our analysis supports the basic premises of the theory of FTI and demonstrates its sensitive dependence on the laser pulse duration and carrier envelope phase. © 2023 American Physical Society.
