• Title: Interference in $\omega -2\omega $ atomic ionization within the strong-field approximation: Beyond the perturbative regime
• Authors: Diego G. Arb\'o and Sebasti\'an D. L\'opez
• Abstract summary: We analyze interference processes in atomic ionization induced by a two-color laser with fundamental frequency $omega $ and its second harmonic $2omega $. The interplay between inter- and intracycle interference processes give rise to multiphoton peaks which can be named as main or ATI peaks and sidebands.

• Abstract: We analyze interference processes in atomic ionization induced by a two-color laser with fundamental frequency $\omega $ and its second harmonic $2\omega $. The interplay between inter- and intracycle interference processes give rise to multiphoton peaks which can be named as main or ATI peaks and sidebands, in analogy to the well-known RABBIT (reconstruction of attosecond harmonic beating by interference of two-photon transitions). We use the saddle point approximation (SPA) to extract the complex ionization times of the interfering electron trajectories. Changing the relative phase between the two colors, the doubly differential momentum distribution of emitted electrons can be controlled. We study the dependence of the electron emission as a function of the relative phase between the $\omega $ and $% 2\omega $ fields within the strong field approximation (SFA) but beyond the perturbative regime. We focus on the extraction of the phase delays accounting the electron forward emission in the direction of the polarized electric fields. We characterize the time delays in the emission of electrons for visible frequency of the pump and its first harmonic as a probe [Ti:Sapphire laser ($800$ nm) together with the first harmonic ($400$ nm)] for a typical $\omega -2\omega $ configuration for argon ionization. We find excellent agreement between our SPA results and the corresponding SFA (without any further approximation) and also with previous perturbative theories.

  Inhomogeneity of an electron spin ensemble acting upon individual spins drastically shortens the spin coherence time $T$. We show that this problem can be solved by the simultaneous application of a radiofrequency (rf) field. This study paves the way to coherent optical manipulation in spin systems decoupled from their inhomogeneous environment.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.
