摘要:

当电子在真空中被紧密聚焦的激光束散射时,强度梯度是影响电子动力学的关键因素,例如,如之前已经探索的电子与激光场的能量交换[P.X.Wang等人,J.Appl.Phys.91,856(2002)。本文将激光强度的空间梯度视为有质动力势,进一步研究了它对电子高次谐波产生的影响。基于微扰QED计算,我们发现强度梯度的主要作用是使原来的高次谐波谱线展宽。可以在波束宽度和对应的线宽之间建立一对一的关系。因此,这一发现可能为我们在实验中测量强激光束宽提供了一种有希望的方法。此外,对于同一激光脉冲,我们还研究了横向和纵向光强梯度对高次谐波的不同影响。

英文摘要:

When an electron is scattered by a tightly-focused laser beam in vacuum, the intensity gradient is a critical factor to influence the electron dynamics, for example, the electron energy exchange with the laser fields as have been explored before [P.X.Wang et al.,J. Appl. Phys. 91, 856 (2002]. In this paper, we have further investigated its influence upon the electron high-harmonic generation (HHG) by treating the spacial gradient of the laser intensity as a ponderomotive potential. Based upon perturbative QED calculations, it has been found that the main effect of the intensity gradient is the broadening of the originally line HHG spectra. A one-to-one relationship can be built between the beam width and the corresponding line width. Hence this finding may provides us a promising way to measure the beam width of intense lasers in experiments. In addition, for a laser pulse, we have also studied the different influences from transverse and longitudinal intensity gradients upon HHG.
