Solving numerically a non-Born-Oppenheimer time-dependent Schrödinger equation to study the dissociative-ionization of H subjected to strong field six-cycle laser pulses (I = 4 × 10 W/cm, λ = 800 nm) leads to newly ultrafast images of electron dynamics in H. The electron distribution in H oscillates symmetrically with laser cycle with θ + π periodicity and gets trapped between two protons for about 8 fs by a Coulomb potential well. Nonetheless, this electron symmetrical distribution breaks up for the H internuclear separation larger than 9 a.u. in the field-free region at a time duration of 24 fs as a result of the distortion of Coulomb potential where the ejected electron preferentially localizes in one of the double-well potential separated by the inner Coulomb potential barrier. Moreover, controlling laser carrier-envelope phase θ enables one to generate the highest total asymmetry A of 0.75 and -0.75 at 10 and 190, respectively, associated with the electron preferential directionality being ionized to the left or the right paths along the H molecular axis. Thus the laser-controlled electron slightly reorganizes its position accordingly to track the shift in the position of the protons despite much heavier the proton’s mass.

The interference of dissociating wave packets for the Br 2 molecule in femtosecond laser field is studied theoretically using time-dependent quantum wave packet method. The interference of dissociating wave packets can be determined by the spectrum of laser field. By shaping laser pulses in frequency domain, the corresponding R- and v-dependent density functions can be effectively controlled. Compared with the 2-pulse excitation scheme, the resolution of the interference patterns can be improved by using 3- and 4-pulse excitation schemes. The dissociating velocity can be steered by varying laser parameters.

We examine above-threshold ionization spectra of model atomic hydrogen in short infrared laser pulses by solving the one-electron time-dependent Schr\“odinger equation in momentum space. To bypass the difficulty of solving the time-dependent Schr\”odinger equation with the interacting nonlocal Coulomb potential, we have recently formulated an alternative \emph{ab initio} approach [Ongonwou et al. Annals of Physics {\bf 375}, 471 (2016)], which is relied on the expansion of the atomic wavefunction and the interacting nonlocal Coulomb potential on a discrete basis set of Coulomb Sturmians in momentum space. As far as short infrared laser pulses are concerned, we have numerically evaluated the photoelectron momentum distributions, angular distributions and bound states populations. The results obtained from our accurate new computationally method are compared against predictions of other time-dependent calculations in the literature. This new theoretical model shows its sensitivity to the carrier-envelope phase of the laser pulse and captures the left-right dependence of the emitted photoelectrons momentum and angular distributions. More precisely, short pulses manifest significant dependence of the differential ionization probability on carrier-envelope phase of the laser pulse and broken forward-backward symmetry in the angular distributions.
