We investigate the multichannel dissociative ionization of ethanol in intense laser fields by the photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging and identify separately the ionization and subsequent electronic excitation in ethanol. From the energy correlation between a photoelectron and a fragment ion, we reveal the amount of the internal energy gained by ethanol cations from the laser field varies depending on the respective ionization and electronic excitation pathways.

with a high contrast ratio through the interaction between accelerated electron bunches and the harmonic pulses. From numerical simulations of the amplification processes of high-order harmonic pulses in the undulator, optimum conditions of the electron bunch duration interacting with the high-order harmonic pulses were investigated for generating full-coherent and intense pulses in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength region.

OH) induced by an intense near-infrared laser pulse are investigated using photoelectron-photoion coincidence method. It is shown that both the electronic ground state and the first electronically excited state of CHOH
are produced at the moment of photoelectron emission. From the observed correlation between the electronic states of CHOH prepared at the moment of photoelectron emission and the kinetic energy release of the fragment ions, it is revealed that CHOH prepared in the electronic ground state at the photoelectron emission gains larger internal energy in the end than that prepared in the electronically excited state. The averaged internal energy of CHOH just before the dissociation is found to increase when the laser field intensity increases from 9 to 23 TW/cm. And when the laser pulse duration increases from 35 to 800 fs.

The 13th harmonic of a Ti:sapphire laser has been significantly amplified with the SCSS test accelerator. The temporal and spatial overlap of the electron beam and the high harmonic radiation were precisely tuned for achieving the seeded free electron laser operation. With numerical simulation the present HH-seeded FEL scheme could readily be applied to the wavelength region down to 10 nm.

We reveal that the nascent population in the electronically excited CHOH prepared by the ionization decreases as the laser intensity increases, while the subsequent electronic excitation is enhanced through the resonant electronic transitions. Ionization and electronic excitation mechanisms are described based on the electronic state distributions of CHOH.

The resonant and non-resonant two-photon single ionization processes of He were investigated using intense free electron laser light in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) region (53.4-61.4 nm) covering the 1s-2p and 1s-3p resonant transitions of He. On the basis of the dependences of the yield of He on the XUV light-field intensity at 53.4, 58.4, 56.0 and 61.4 nm, the absolute values of the two-photon ionization cross sections of He at the four different wavelengths and their dependence on the light-field intensity were determined for the first time.

When the amplification conditions were fulfilled, strong enhancement of the radiation intensity by a factor of 650 was observed. The random and uncontrollable spikes, which appeared in the spectra of the Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) based FEL radiation without the seeding source, were found to be suppressed drastically to form to a narrow-band, single peak profile at 61.2 nm. The properties of the seeded FEL radiation were well reproduced by numerical simulations. We discuss the future precept of the seeded FEL scheme to the shorter wavelength region.

It is demonstrated that the branching ratio between the C-C and C-O bond breaking processes in the dissociative ionization of ethanol is controlled by tailoring the intense laser pulse shape. Through systematic investigation of the dependence of the parameters of the laser pulses on the yield ratio between the two dissociation pathways, mechanisms of bifurcating into the two pathways are discussed. The important key factors for determining the yield ratio were found to be the pulse duration and wavelength. It was proposed that the nonadiabatic electronic excitation is efficiently induced by the wave packet evolution within the laser pulse duration.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：28.67(Optics)We experimentally investigate the dynamics of vibrational wave packets on the light-dressed-potential energy surface (LD-PES) of CHOH using a pump-and-probe pulse excitation scheme. The probability of non-adiabatic transition at 800 nm from the singly ionized ground state to the repulsive excited state leading to C-O bond breaking is enhanced when a probe laser pulse is delayed by around 180 fs. At this pulse delay, on the other hand, C-C bond breaking is significantly suppressed. Therefore, the deformation of LDPES is considered to change the direction of the wave packet traveling originally along the C-C stretching into the direction along the C-O stretching. This non-adiabatic transition leading to the redirection of the dissociating wave packet is found to occur more efficiently at the probe laser wavelengths at 400 nm than at 800 nm. The critical pulse delay is still around 180 fs even at 400 nm.

We investigate the dissociative ionization dynamics of ethanol in intense laser fields with photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging. The channel-specific photoelectron spectra reveal the electronic states prepared just after ionization, depending both on the decomposition pathways and on the temporal profile of laser pulses.
