摘要
We report a new dynamic two-center interference effect in high-harmonic generation from H-2, in which the attosecond nuclear motion of H-2(+) initiated at ionization causes interference to be observed at lower harmonic orders than would be the case for static nuclei. To enable this measurement we utilize a recently developed technique for probing the attosecond nuclear dynamics of small molecules. The experimental results are reproduced by a theoretical analysis based upon the strong-field approximation which incorporates the temporally dependent two-center interference term.
