Fully differential data for H2 dissociation in ultrashort (6 fs, 760 nm), linearly polarized, intense
(0.44 PW/cm2) laser pulses with a stabilized carrier-envelope phase (CEP) were recorded with a reaction
microscope. Depending on the CEP, the molecular orientation, and the kinetic energy release (KER), we see a clear asymmetry in the proton emission for kinetic energy releases between 0−3 eV as basically predicted by Roudnev and Esry [1] and much stronger than in earlier measurements by Kling et al. [2]. Wave packet propagation simulations were
carried out, which reproduce the salient features and together with the KER-independent electron asymmetry observed in the experiment, rule out the first ionization step to be the reason for the asymmetric proton emission.
