Toward Attosecond Vortices in Semiconductor Materials
摘要
Abstract
We present theoretical results on the generation of short-wavelength vortex beams in semiconductors through their interaction with an intense Laguerre–Gauss (LG) beam
in the regime where nonperturbative high-order harmonics are generated. Our approach leverages key aspects of the microscopic mechanism for high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in condensed matter
including the incorporation of dephasing time in the semiconductor Bloch equations (SBEs)
the integration of the SBE model with the thin-slab model
and the application of experimentally validated scaling laws for different harmonic orders. For our simulations
we use a zinc oxide crystal interacting with an LG vortex beam characterized by a topological charge of . Time-domain analysis reveals that this is a feasible route
by synthesizing several harmonics
toward the generation of twisted attosecond pulse trains. These findings contribute to advancing the understanding of solid-state media interacting with structured light.
