In the framework of the time dependent local density approximation the harmonic generation of Na2 in ultrashort intense pulses is investigated. The coupling between harmonics and plasmons of Na 2 is discussed in detail with two laser frequencies 5.266 eV, which is double the resonance of the plasmon, and 1.124 eV, which is half the frequency of plasmons, and with two different peak intensities. One finds appearance of the third and the fifth harmonic generation at high ponderomotive potential.

ABSTRACTWe have developed a technique for treating the coupled dynamics of electrons and nuclei in a molecule which is subjected to ultrashort and ultra-intense laser pulses. This technique has been employed in quantitatively accurate simulations for . Many interesting phenomena have been observed, including photodissociation, bond softening, above-threshold dissociation, ion-population trapping, electron-population trapping, sudden electronic transitions, Rabi flopping, and harmonic generation. Some representative results are shown here.

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) studies of the ionization of CO2 by intense laser pulses Io ≥ 1 × 1014 W/cm2, at 800 nm are presented using the LB94 and the LDA potentials. Results reveal that for lower laser peak intensity, Io = 3.5 × 1014 W/cm2, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) contributes significantly to ionization owing to its lower ionization potential (IP), whereas the inner orbitals play the important role for higher laser peak intensities. Even though such lower orbitals have higher IP, the ionization process occurs when orbital densities are maximum along the direction of the laser field polarization. These findings are confirmed through the analysis of the images from the time-dependent electron localization function (TDELF) and the spectra of higher order harmonic generation (HOHG). Additionally, in spite of the IP difference between Kohn–Sham orbitals from LDA and LB94 potentials, our results show almost the same trend for both.
