Strong-field photoelectron holography of atoms by bicircular two-color laser pulses

Abstract

We study photoelectron holography in strong bicircular two-color laser fields by solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation (TDSE) and a semiclassical rescattering model with implementing interference effect. The holographic patterns observed in the TDSE are well recaptured by the semiclassical rescattering model. Four types of photoelectron holographic interferences between the forward scattered and nonscattered trajectories are predicted by the semiclassical rescattering model in the bicircular two-color laser field. We find that those holographic patterns are spatially separated from each other in the electron momentum distribution. We further show that the dependence of the initial transverse momentum at the tunnel exit on the ionization time for the rescattering electron is recorded by the holographic patterns.
