Enhancing the intense field control of molecular fragmentation

Quantum Physics 2013-07-03 v1 Atomic Physics

Abstract

We describe a pump-probe scheme with which the spatial asymmetry of dissociating molecular fragments --- as controlled by the carrier-envelope phase of an intense few-cycle laser pulse --- can be enhanced by an order of magnitude or more. We illustrate the scheme using extensive, full-dimensional calculations for dissociation of H2+_2^+ and include the averaging necessary for comparison with experiment.
