Abstract

The XUV field emitted by impulsively aligned ethylene molecules during high-order harmonic generation is retrieved as a function of molecular orientation. The results can be ascribed to multielectron contributions to the harmonic emission.

Highlights

  • High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is a formidable tool for investigating the intimate nature of atoms and molecules, since the properties of the harmonic radiation strongly depend on the outermost electronic structure of the target species

  • Harmonic spectra were recorded as a function of the delay τ between the pulses; the intensity of each harmonic was obtained by spectral integration of the harmonic peak and normalization with respect to the intensity measured at negative delays

  • Partial rotational revivals are clearly visible along the delay scan; in addition a modulation of the harmonic intensity as a function of the harmonic order is observed
