Vibrational interference of Raman and high-harmonic generation pathways

Atomic Physics 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

Experiments have shown that the internal vibrational state of a molecule can affect the intensity of high harmonic light generated from that molecule. This paper presents a model which explains this modulation in terms of interference between different vibrational states occurring during the high harmonic process. In addition, a semiclassical model of the continuum electron propagation is developed which connects with rigorous treatments of the electron-ion scattering.
