| I will first describe the physical mechanisms and the dynamics of electron localization in a dissociating molecular ion, including the sensitivity to the carrier-envelope phase of the driving few-cycle laser pulse. I will then describe how electron localization is reflected in the spectra of high harmonics generated from a dissociating molecule. In particular, I will show how the suppression of electron tunneling between the nuclei affects the intereference minima in the harmonic spectrum, associated with the internuclear distance. |
