Experimental Separation of Sub-Cycle Ionization Bursts in Strong-Field Double Ionization of H$_2$

Chemical Physics 2020-03-18 v2 Atomic Physics

Abstract

We report on the unambiguous observation of the sub-cycle ionization bursts in sequential strong-field double ionization of H2_2 and their disentanglement in molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions. This observation was made possible by the use of few-cycle laser pulses with a known carrier-envelope phase in combination with multi-particle coincidence momentum imaging. The approach demonstrated here will allow sampling of the intramolecular electron dynamics and the investigation of charge-state specific Coulomb-distortions on emitted electrons in polyatomic molecules.
