Dependence of above-threshold ionization spectrum on polarization directions of two-color laser fields

Using the frequency-domain theory, we investigate the above-threshold ionization（ATI） process of an atom in twocolor laser fields. When both photon energies of the two-color laser fields are much smaller than the atomic ionization threshold, the ATI spectrum depends on the angle between the two lasers＇ polarization directions. While when the photon energy of one laser is comparable with or larger than the atomic ionization threshold, the ATI spectrum is independent of the angle, and only several dips appear at certain angles. By analyzing the contributions of different quantum channels, we find that, for the case that both frequencies of the two color lasers are low, the quantum interferences between the channels are strong, and hence the spectrum changes with the angle between the two lasers＇ polarization directions. While for the case that the frequency of one of the two color lasers is high, the contributions of the channels to the ATI spectrum decrease dramatically with increasing channel order, hence the interferences between the channels disappear, and the ATI spectrum has a step-like structure, which is independent of the angle between the two lasers＇ polarizations. These results can shed light on the study of the corresponding relation between classical and quantum mechanisms of the matter–laser interaction in high-frequency laser fields.

Theoretical analysis of high-speed rail seismic imaging

We do theoretical research on using high-speed rail(HSR)as an active source to perform reverse time migration(RTM)and analyze the influence of the interferometric field on the seismic imaging results.When a train runs on a rail viaduct,the evenly spaced piers of the viaduct generate a nearly spherical interferometric wavefield with radically travelling waves in frequency-determined directions.We find that the directions span stationary areas of the interference phases,of which cross-talks deteriorating HSR seismic imaging can be well suppressed by stacking.Accordingly,we propose a method for performing RTM by employing HSR data.Numerical tests primarily verify the proposed method by use of 2 D and 3 D acoustic wave equations.Subsequently,we execute least square RTM to suppress crosstalk artifacts,further improving the imaging quality.At last,we stack images derived from trains with different velocities,which extends the frequency band,effectively overcoming the limit from the discrete spectrum of the source wavelet.
