极性分子由于其本身的不对称性, 在强激光场的作用下展现出丰富且复杂的电子动力学现象. 本文利用三维含时Hartree-Fock方法研究了极性分子CO的高次谐波产生过程. 通过高次谐波谱和时频分析结果可知,当激光偏振沿分子轴方向时, 来自C和O两侧的电子对高次谐波的产生具有不同的贡献. 对于平台区较低阶的谐波, 仅C侧电离的电子参与谐波的产生. 而对于较高阶的谐波, C和O两侧的电子共同参与谐波的辐射. 并且, 随着激光偏振与分子轴的夹角θ逐渐增大, C和O两侧电子对谐波强度贡献的差异越来越小. 在高次谐波谱中能量28 eV附近发现了明显的形状共振峰, 随后通过强场近似理论解析了其不对称性. 本文的工作有助于推动高次谐波谱在追踪电子超快动力学和研究极性分子结构方面的应用.

Compared with nonpolar molecules, owing to the inherent asymmetry, polar molecules exhibit rich and very complex electronic dynamics under the interaction with strong laser fields. In this work, high-order harmonic generation (HHG) of polar molecules CO is investigated by using the three-dimensional time-dependent Hartree-Fock (3D-TDHF) theory, with all electrons active. Through the high harmonic spectra and time-frequency analyses, it is found that when the laser field polarizes along the molecular axis, the ionized electrons from the two sides (C side and O side) contribute differently to the harmonic radiation. On the one hand, the harmonic intensity from the C side is greater than that from the O side, which is caused by the ionization rate. On the other hand, for the lower-order (7th–17th order) harmonics of plateau region, only the electrons from the C side participate in the HHG. However, for its higher part (18th–36th order), the electrons from both C side and O side contribute to high harmonics simultaneously. Moreover, the difference between contributions from two sides is related to the alignment angle θ between the laser polarization and the molecular axis, and it reaches a maximum value around θ = 0º and a minimum value around θ = 90º. There are two strong resonances around harmonic order H12.6 (19.5 eV) and H18 (27.9 eV) in the harmonic spectra when θ = 0º. The first resonance around H12.6 reveals that part of electrons ionized from the C side recombine to the vicinity of the further O nucleus. Near the second resonance around H18, there appears a shape resonance. Nevertheless, the shape resonances from the C and O sides are disparate. Based on the strong-field approximation theory, the ratio between photoionization cross sections from C and O sides around the shape resonance is calculated. The ratio is about 5.5 from 3D-TDHF, which is greater than the result of 3 simulated by ePloyScat, where only HOMO is considered. This discrepancy reveals that multi-electron effects enhance the asymmetry of polar molecules. This work provides an in-depth insight into the asymmetry in HHG of polar molecules, which benefits the generation of isolated attosecond pulse . It also promotes the application of high harmonic spectra in tracking the ultrafast dynamics of electrons.-
