Description

Full text: We present a theoretical analysis of how intense, few-cycle infrared laser pulses can be used to image the structure of small molecules with nearly 1 fs temporal and sub-A spatial resolution. We identify and analyze several physical mechanisms responsible for the distortions of the diffraction image and describe a recipe for recovering an tin-distorted image from the angle and energy-resolved spectra of photo-electrons. We also identify holographic patterns generated by the recollision and discuss the requirements to enhancing the resolution of the hologram for imaging the scattering potential. (author)
