Optical interference effect in strong-field electronic coherence spectroscopy
The authors present a combined experimental and theoretical study of strong-field-induced electronic coherences in argon and molecular nitrogen ions as a step towards strong-field coherent control in molecular chemistry. They find that nonsequential double ionization in the low-intensity region of the focal volume can reduce the visibility of coherence generated by two-pulse sequential ionization, and quantify the importance of pulse shape and spectral characteristics for isolating the desired coherence signals.
