Team observes two distinct holographic patterns with ultrafast imaging

by Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS (a) Experimental schematic and (b) measured unique photoelectron holography from molecular nitrogen. The intercycle interference effect was substantially suppressed when utilizing near-single-cycle Vis/NIR laser pulses, allowing the observation of two distinct holographic patterns (spider-leg-like (dashed curve) and fishbone-like (dash-dotted lines)) in a … Read more
