• Abstract: We study the impact of two-color ($\omega$ and $2\omega$) co- and counter-rotating ultrashort attosecond laser pulses on non-isotropic atomic targets through the one- and two-photon interference pattern of the photoelectron spectrum. Specifically, we take the ground state of atomic carbon, i. e., $(1s^22s^22p^2,{}^3\text{P}^\text{e})$ as a prototype. We observe and quantify the strong dependency on the relative carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of the two-color pulses and on the spatial orientation of the electronic target states. Notably, we observe that the photoelectron momentum distributions (PMDs) vary as a function of the CEP due to the interfering two-color one- and two-photon ionization paths. Besides, the PMD region corresponding to one-photon photoionization remains unaffected, with varying CEP, depending only on the ellipticity of the pulse, the central photon frequency and the magnetic quantum number of the initial state. Therefore, comparing the one-photon ionization electron ejection direction following absorption of a single ($2\omega$) photon with that of the two-photon ionization channel following absorption of two photon each with energy $\omega$ we may extrapolate information on the CEP difference between the two pulses.

  We investigated the fluorescence signals from Rhodamine 6G and LDS798 excited with a CW laser or an entangled photon pair source at 1060 nm. We observed a signal that originates from hot-band absorption (HBA), which is one-photon absorption from thermally-populated vibrational levels of the ground electronic state. For the typical conditions under which E2PEF measurements are performed, contributions from the HBA process could lead to a several orders-of-magnitude overestimate of the quantum advantage for excitation efficiency.
