Abstract
Momentum shift is an important sign of nonadiabatic tunnelling ionization process. To investigate the mechanism of momentum shift, we use the strong-field approximation theory to track the formation of ionization momentum spectra of hydrogen atom under the action of different laser pulses in the time domain. By observing the ionization momentum spectra of different structures over time, we find that the momentum shift is formed by the continuous interference and evolution of ionization signals. Meanwhile, we further analyze how subcycle and intercycle interference influence the formation of momentum shift. Before the duration is long enough for intercycle interference to emerge, momentum shift grows smoothly. Our findings reveal different intrinsic mechanisms for the formation of momentum shift in many-cycle and few-cycle laser pulses, showing that subcycle interference plays a dominant role in the former while intercycle interference is critical in the latter. This work lays the foundation for a deeper understanding of the nonadiabatic tunnelling process and makes the regulation of momentum shift possible.
