Abstract

By numerically solving the two-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we investigate the strong-field photoelectron holography (SFPH) for different atomic and molecular targets. The results show that the photoelectron hologram is capable of providing structural information-the phase of scattering amplitude. In our calculations, the holographic pattern shifts with the target, indicating the phase difference between various targets. However, for the near-forward scattering, the phases of scattering amplitude for different targets are similar and thus no structural information has been retrieved in the previous works on near-forward scattering hologram. We suggest to use the backward scattering photoelectron hologram to extract this type of structural information. This paves a significant step towards time-resolved imaging of molecular structure and dynamics with the concept of SFPH.
