We investigate tunneling ionization of a single active electron with strong and short laser pulse, circularly polarized. With the recently proposed backpropagation method, we can compare different criteria for tunnel exit as well popular approximations in strong-field physics on same footing. Thereby, trace back discrepancies literature regarding time to inconsistent criteria. The main source error is use static potential, which is, however, dependent pulse. A vanishing velocity...

We investigate tunneling ionization of a model helium atom in strong circularly polarized short laser pulse using the classical backpropagation method and compare ten different criteria on same footing, aiming for consistent picture dynamics.

Multiphoton resonant excitation and frustrated tunneling ionization, manifesting the photonic optical nature of driving light via direct electron recapture, respectively, are complementary mechanisms to access Rydberg state (RSE) atoms molecules in an intense laser field. However, clear identification manipulation their individual contributions light-induced RSE process remain experimentally challenging. Here, we bridge this gap by exploring dissociative nondissociative H2 using bicircular...
