Can we break the symmetry along the polarization axis in photoionization?
(2020) 31st International Conference on Photonic, Electronic and Atomic Collisions, ICPEAC 2019 In Journal of Physics: Conference Series 1412.- Abstract
Photoionization is a fundamental process in which an electron is emitted from an atom. The emission is traditionally considered to be symmetric with respect to the polarization axis, unless it is temporally confined to a period shorter than an optical cycle time. We demonstrate that this symmetry can still be broken by combining a train of a few attosecond pulses and a dressing laser field. The light fields act as temporal slits and phase modulator that releases electron wavepackets. The resulting photoelectron spectra differ for electrons emitted in opposite direction along the polarization.
