Abstract
The wavelength dependence of the holographic interference structure in the photoelectron momentum distribution (PMD) of hydrogen atoms under a few-cycle chirped laser field is investigated using a two-dimensional (2D) semiclassical two-step (SCTS) model. Under the constraint of a fixed chirp parameter, we observe an amplification in the impact of the chirp parameter on the laser field waveform as the wavelength increases. This enhancement facilitates effective modulation of the ionization time window. As the wavelength reaches a certain threshold, the double-slit interference pattern undergoes an observable expansion towards the left. Furthermore, based on the variations in X-axis momentum (Px) concerning ionization time at different wavelengths and the corresponding distribution of classical electron trajectories at those wavelengths, we present a more comprehensive explanation for the expansion of interference patterns. This expansion can be attributed to changes in wavelength, which result in modifications to the laser field’s waveform, consequently leading to a significant acceleration of ionized electrons when exposed to chirped laser pulses. It is worth noting that by tuning the negative chirp parameter, the leftward expansion of the double-slit interference pattern can also be achieved, particularly when shorter wavelengths of chirped laser pulses are employed.
