Abstract

We demonstrate that the dynamic information and the spatial structure of a Rydberg wave packet formed by two neighboring Rydberg states can be simultaneously probed by harmonic spectra in a few-cycle laser pulse, where the Rydberg wave packet is produced by a pump laser field. By controlling the time delay of the pump-probe laser pulses, the harmonic spectra present a periodic variation, which directly illustrates the electron oscillation between the two neighboring Rydberg states. Specifically, by taking advantage of the periodic variation of the harmonic efficiency and the dip structure in the spectrum, one can detect the spatial characteristics and the dynamic information of the initial Rydberg wave packet.
