Photoelectron momentum distribution for H<sub>2</sub><sup>+ </sup>in elliptically polarized laser pulses
ORAL
Abstract
We study photoelectron momentum distributions resulting from the interaction of the hydrogen molecular ion when interacting with an elliptically polarized laser pulse. Our results are based on numerical solutions of the full three dimensional Schrödinger equation. The features of the angular distributions as a function of the ellipticity of the pulse will be discussed and compared with analytical predictions from previous molecular models. Extensions of the calculations to other molecules within the single-active-electron approximation will be discussed
