H-atoms in H$_2$O are rearranged by strong optical fields generated by intense, 10 fs laser pulses to form H$_2^+$, against prevailing wisdom that strong fields inevitably lead to multiple molecular ionization and the subsequent Coulomb…
Studies of strong field ionization have historically relied on the strong field approximation, which neglects all spatial dependence in the forces experienced by the electron after ionization. More recently, the small spatial inhomogeneity…
The laser-induced fragmentation dynamics of this most fundamental polar molecule HeH$^+$ are measured using an ion beam of helium hydride and an isotopologue at various wavelengths and intensities. In contrast to the prevailing…
Electron-initiated chemistry with chemically relevant electron energies (10-200 eV) is at the heart of several high-energy processes and phenomena. To probe these dissociation and fragmentation reactions with femtosecond resolution requires…
We study the formation of highly excited neutral atoms during the break-up of strongly-driven molecules. Past work on this significant phenomenon has shown that during the formation of highly excited neutral atoms ($\mathrm{H^{*}}$) during…
We study tunneling ionization of HeH+ in strong elliptical laser fields numerically and analytically. The calculated photoelectron momentum distribution (PMD) show two different offset angles corresponding to ionization events occurring in…
A strong laser field and the Coulomb field of a nucleus can produce e^{+}e^{-} pairs. It is shown for the first time that there is a large probability that electrons and positrons created in this process collide after one or several…
We investigate dissociative single and double ionization of HeH+ induced by intense femtosecond laser pulses. By employing a semi-classical model with nuclear trajectories moving on field-dressed surfaces and ionization events treated as…
Polyatomic molecules in strong laser fields can undergo substantial nuclear motion within tens of femtoseconds. Ion imaging methods based on dissociation or Coulomb explosion therefore have difficulty faithfully recording the geometry…
We report the breakdown of the electric dipole approximation in the long-wavelength limit in strong-field ionization with linearly polarized few-cycle mid-infrared laser pulses at intensities on the order of 10$^{13}$ W/cm$^2$.…
The strong coupling between intense laser fields and valence electrons in molecules causes a distortion of the potential energy hypersurfaces which determine the motion of nuclei in a molecule and influences possible reaction pathways. The…
The observation of non-perturbative harmonic emission in solids from ultrashort laser pulses [1] sparked a wave of studies [2,3] as a probe of charge carrier dynamics in solids under strong fields and a route to extreme ultraviolet (XUV)…
The formation of an electron-hole plasma during the interaction of intense femtosecond laser pulses with transparent solids lies at the heart of femtosecond laser processing. Advanced micro- and nanomachining applications require improved…
Intense 3-cycle pulses (10 fs) of 800 nm laser light are utilized to measure energy distributions of ions emitted following Coulomb explosion of Ar$_n$ clusters ($n$=400-900) upon their irradiation by peak intensitis of 5$\times$10$^{14}$ W…
We present three dimensional time-dependent calculations of ionization of arbitrarily spatially oriented H$_2^+$ by attosecond, intense, high-frequency laser fields. The ionization probability shows a strong dependence on both the…
Electrons colliding with spatially fixed ions in strong laser fields are investigated by solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation. Considering first simple one-dimensional model systems, the mechanisms and energy spectra of fast…
We study ionization of aligned H$_2^+$ in strong elliptically-polarized laser fields numerically and analytically. The calculated offset angle in photoelectron momentum distribution is several degrees larger for the molecule than a model…
The interaction of intense laser pulses with nano-scale particles leads to the production of high-energy electrons, ions, neutral atoms, neutrons and photons. Up to now, investigations have focused on near-infrared to X-ray laser pulses…
Radiative recombination of a relativistic electron with a highly charged ion in the presence of an intense laser field is considered. Various relativistic effects, caused by the high energy of the incoming electron and its strong coupling…
We present a simple quantum mechanical model to describe Coulomb explosion of H$_2^+$ by short, intense, infrared laser pulses. The model is based on the length gauge version of the molecular strong-field approximation and is valid for…
