Abstract
Time-resolved buildup of a Fano resonance in a macroscopic gaseous medium is theoretically studied by attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. An intense near-infrared field is employed as an adjustable gate to confine the temporal dynamics, enabling one to resolve the line-shape formation in real time. Beyond the region where the single-atom approximation holds, we observe the emergence of spectral spikes with narrow linewidths for certain time delays and propagation distances, which represents that the medium can be delicately structured to be an efficient resonant absorber. Spectral substructures appear on the shoulder of the absorption lines after additional pulse propagation. The links between these features imprinted in spectral profiles and the formation of temporal characteristics in the excitation field are identified. The collective response of the medium versus time delay and propagation distance, in this laser-gated case, provides clues to the time-domain information on autoionization state and the microscopic dynamics occurring at each layer of the medium.
