Research Area

Theoretical Atomic Physics

My research interests continue to be in ultra-short, intense laser-atoms/molecules interactions and attosecond physics. My main research has been focused on the development of the theoretical methods and models for high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from aligned molecules in ultra-short and intense laser fields. I have also worked on the propagation of the HHG in media and high-energy (HATI) electron spectra and non-sequential double ionization (NSDI) from atoms/molecules in intense laser fields. I continue close collaborations with other members of C.D. Lin’s group on these issues. Our main contribution in this field is the accurate description of the above-mentioned phenomena by the quantitative rescattering theory, in which the structure of the atomic/molecular targets enters explicitly into the formulation. We are now extending our methods to use ultra-short laser pulses for dynamic chemical imaging.
