Intra- and intercycle interference of electron emissions in laser-assisted XUV atomic ionization
We study the ionization of atomic hydrogen in the direction of polarization due to a linearly polarized XUV pulse in the presence of a strong IR laser. We describe the photoelectron spectra as an interference problem in the time domain. Electron trajectories stemming from different optical laser cyc...
