This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $493,565 awarded on July 15, 2022 will support research into coherent control and analysis of atomic multi-photon processes at the Missouri University of Science and Technology through June 30, 2025. The research aims to advance established coherent control schemes and develop new methods to manipulate electron dynamics in photo-absorption processes using lithium atoms. Investigators will shape both the microscopic properties of femtosecond laser pulses, such as polarization and pulse sequences, and the macroscopic properties including wavefronts to generate optical vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum. This novel approach aims to provide the first experimental evidence of non-dipole transitions in photoionization by coupling the beams' angular momentum to electrons and analyzing the imprint on ejected electron wave packets. The work supports the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing fundamental scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems in these fields.
