摘要

We present a scheme for tomographic imaging of asymmetric molecular orbital based on high-order harmonic generation with a two-color orthogonally polarized multicycle laser field. With the two-dimensional manipulation of the electron trajectories, the electrons can recollide with the target molecule from two noncollinear directions, and then the dipole moment generated from the single direction can be obtained to reconstructed the asymmetric molecular orbital. The recollision is independent from the molecular structure and the angular dependence of the ionization rate in the external field. For this reason, this scheme can avoid the negative effects arising from the modification of the angle-dependent ionization rate induced by Stark shift and be applied to various molecules.
