21 Transient Birefringence in Optical Kerr Effect An optical transient birefringence experiment measures the anisotropic response of a medium due to the presence of a large optical electric field. The electric field distorts the potential experienced by electrons bound to atoms and molecules, which changes the degree to which a weak probe field interacts with the medium depending on its polarization.

22 Ionization-Induced Birefringence Optical Interference Plus Ionization Provides Ionization Grating- Induced Phase Accumulation Wahlstrand and Milchberg proposed that the polarization component of the probe pulse parallel to the pump polarization will selectively participate in ionization, leading to an effective birefringence.
23 The Model for Plasma Grating-Induced Birefringence at 400nm Pump Probe At 400 nm, four photons are required to ionize O 2 At low probe intensity, one photon from probe can add to pump photons to provide an excitation-ionization path. Interference between pump and probe sets up an intensity grating. Interaction or exchange of probe photons in ladder climbing leads to phase accumulation. IP gs
24 Two-beam phase coupling Pump (and probe) can diffracts into probe (and pump) direction to give energy coupling. If frequencies of pump and probe are not degenerate, the grating moves appreciably on the time scale of pulse duration and diffraction washes out.

26 800nm Filament, 400nm Probe Measurement Initial results of experiments performed at ~40 TW/cm 2 show that no inversion of the birefringence is observed at zero delay in nitrogen using a 400 nm probe pulse, though inversion is observed at 800 nm.

31 Plasma Nonlinearity II: Incorporating Multi Photon Ionization As the ionization rate depends on the total intensity, in the two-beam situation, the generated plasma density will undergo periodic spatial variations due to the small but significant interference term.

32 The Combined Transient Birefrigence Signal from Kerr, Transient Plasma Grating and Rotation Keeping only the first term in the sum for the plasma heterodyne signal and adding the Kerr-related terms, we obtain the following expression for the heterodyned signal intensity to be compared with the spectrally resolved birefringence measurements: where:

39 Modification of Polarizability and Hyperpolarizability of Nitrogen Molecules upon Ionization In the process of filamentation, ionization changes optical characteristics of the medium. So far, most attention have been paid to the optical response of the free electrons. However, polarizability and hyperpolarizability, and higher-order hyperpolarizabilities of emerging ions may differ considerably from those properties of neutral molecules, and this change may influence the filamentation process. It is thus desirable to establish a consistent theoretical method for calculating microscopically nonlinear refractive index n= n0 + n2 I + where on the level of individual molecules n2 corresponds to second-order hyperpolarizability g.
40 Challenge The available suites of quantum-chemical programs (e.g. Gaussian09) are not amenable to calculating dynamic hyperpolarizabilities. N 2 ion is an open-shell system in which correlation effects are expected to be more pronounced and require a special treatment.
41 Auxiliary Static Field Approach A power-series expression for the molecular quasi energy E in the electric field in terms of polarizability and hyperpolarizability.[1] E( F ) i E 0 i i F i i 1 2! ij ij F F i j 1 3! ijk ijk F F i j F k 1 4! ijkl ijkl F F i j F k F l... Here: E i is the energy of the molecule in the absence of electric field, µ i 0 is dipole moment, α ij is the polarizability, β ijk is the first order hyperpolarizability and ϒ ijkl is the second order hyperpolarizability. These characteristics can be expressed as derivatives of the quasienergy with respect to the electric field. E( F) E( F) E( F) E( F) i ( ) 0 ij ( ) 0 βijk ( ) ijkl ( ) 0 0 F F i i F j Fi F j F Fi F j Fk Fl k [1]: Hari Singh, Nalwa, Junji Mukai Atsushi Kakata, Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1995, 99,
42 Auxiliary Static Field Approach We use the results of Gaussian09 calculations for α ij and β ijk as nonlinear functions of auxiliary electric field. In the first approach, these data are numerically differentiated and the result is extrapolated to zero field. In the second approach, the data for polarizability are fitted with a polynomial whose coefficients are related to the hyperpolarizabilities.

45 N 2 Molecule vs. N 2 Ion xx zz zzzz xxxx xxzz Molecule Ion
46 Change in Hyperpolarizability: Root Causes The change in polarizability upon ionization depends on two competing factors: 1) when one of the electrons contributing to the polarizability is removed, the overall response of electron system to the external field is expected to become proportionally smaller; 2) the electronic excitation energies in the ion are typically smaller than those in the neutral molecule resulting in enhanced linear and nonlinear response. Indeed, the calculations of electronic excited states for N 2 molecule and ion indicate that the excitation energies undergo a considerable decrease upon ionization, compensating for the decrease in the number of electrons leading to an increase in hyperpolarizability.
47 Conclusions The developed methodology allows for calculation of static second-order hyperpolarizabilities for ionized molecules. The calculated hyperpolarizability values are expected to be relevant in long-wavelength limit. At realistic strong electric field magnitude of 2.7 V/Å, the calculated nonlinear contribution to the induced dipole moment of nitrogen ion is several times greater than that of the neutral molecule. The results obtained indicate the enhanced role of excitations in the polarization response of ion as compared with its relative neutral molecule. The developed polynomial-fit approach may be extended to higher-order hyperpolarizabilities.
