在這篇論文中,我們從非微擾的量子力學觀點,研究銫原子在中程紅外強場雷射中產生高次諧波(high-order harmonic generation, HHG)的現象。我們建立了一個和角動量量子數有關的模型勢能,精準地描述了銫原子的電子結構。我們以時變廣義擬譜方法(time-dependent generalized pseudospectral method, TDGPS)有效率且準確地求解了三維的時變薛丁格方程式。 除了預期的奇數高次諧波外,由於銫原子6s與np能階間的強耦合,我們得到的高次諧波頻譜顯示了一些額外的結構。經由傅立業(Fourier)及小波(wavelet)分析,我們更進一步探索了高次諧波的時間與光譜特性。藉此我們可以瞭解在不同能量範圍之高次諧波產生的主要機制,特別是低閾值與近閾值(below- and near-threshold)高次諧波的產生。
In this thesis, we present a non-perturbative quantum study of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) of Cesium atoms in intense mid-infrared laser pulses. An accurate angular-momentum--dependent model potential is constructed for the high-precision description of the Cs atom electronic structure. The three-dimensional time-dependent Schr"{o}dinger equation is solved accurately and efficiently by means of the time-dependent generalized pseudospectral (TDGPS) method. Besides the expected odd harmonics, the calculated HHG spectra show additional structures due to the strong $6s-np$ couplings. The spectral and temporal characteristics of the HHG are further explored through Fourier and the wavelet transformation. As a result, we can investigate the prevailing mechanisms in different energy regimes, especially those contributing to the generation of below- and near-threshold harmonics.
