Interference Control of Fano Resonances and Dynamical Imaging of an Electron Wave Packet
摘要
Abstract
The Fano line shape
arising from the interference of pathways for the excitation of discrete and continuum states
plays a fundamental role in many branches of physics
chemistry
and materials science. Exciting the resonance with a high harmonic provides naturally a phase delay between the pathways leading to a complex asymmetry parameter. We demonstrate that its amplitude and phase can be controlled on the femtosecond and attosecond time scales
respectively. With our high-energy-resolution (10-meV) experiment
we dynamically image a resonance-enhanced electron wave packet during its temporal evolution
extracting both the amplitude and the phase. Calculations reproduce our experimental results. Our approach constitutes a method for measuring the photoionization delays of a resonance and enables the reconstruction of the electron wave packet in the time domain. This concept of an interference-controlled Fano line shape is a step toward attosecond quantum optics with potential ramifications into nanoscience and next-generation optical materials.
