A Generalized Approach to Molecular Orbital Tomography

摘要

Imaging of the outermost molecular orbital by high-order harmonic generation has been limited so far to very simple molecules like nitrogen, since several difficulties had to be overcome in order to extend it to more complex species. In this work we show that molecular imaging can be applied to a triatomic molecule like carbon dioxide, hence paving the way to the exploitation of such technique to the imaging of polyatomic species.
