- Abstract summary: We propose a new scheme to control the shape of the Autler-Townes (AT) doublet in the photoelectron spectrum from atomic resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI)
The scheme is based on the interference of two AT doublets created by ionization of the strongly driven atom from the ground and the resonantly excited state using tailored bichromatic femtosecond (fs) laser pulses.

- Abstract: We propose a new scheme to control the shape of the Autler-Townes (AT)
doublet in the photoelectron spectrum from atomic resonance-enhanced
multiphoton ionization (REMPI). The scheme is based on the interference of two
AT doublets created by ionization of the strongly driven atom from the ground
and the resonantly excited state using tailored bichromatic femtosecond (fs)
laser pulses. In this scheme, the quantum phase of the photoelectrons is
crucial for the manipulation of the AT doublet. The laser polarization state
and the relative optical phase between the two colors are used to manipulate
the interference pattern. We develop an analytical model to describe the
bichromatic REMPI process and provide a physical picture of the control
mechanism. To validate the model, the results are compared to an ab initio
calculation based on the solution of the 2D time-dependent Schr\"odinger
equation for the non-perturbative interaction of an atom with intense
polarization-shaped bichromatic fs-laser pulses. Our results indicate that the
control mechanism is robust with respect to the laser intensity facilitating
its experimental observation.

We investigate two-color laser driven photocurrent and high harmonic generation (HHG) in graphene models.
We demonstrate that the HHG spectra can be drastically altered by tuning the spatial symmetry of the laser-field trajectory.
We also show that both the magnitude and the direction of photocurrent can be controlled by varying the frequency, intensity, ellipticity, and phase of the two-color laser.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
