Localizing High-Lying Rydberg Wave Packets with Orthogonally-Polarized Two-Color Laser Fields

Abstract

Synopsis We demonstrate controlling over the localization of high-lying Rydberg wave packets in argon atoms with orthogonally-polarized two-color laser fields. Experiments and accompanying semiclassical simulations show clear evidences on asymmetric localization of high-lying Rydberg electrons in argon atoms after the interaction with two-color laser fields.
