摘要
The momentum spectrum and the number density of created electron-positron pairs in a frequency modulated laser field are investigated using the quantum kinetic equation. It is found that the momentum spectrum presents an obvious interference pattern. This is an imprint of the frequency modulated field on the momentum spectrum, because the momentum peaks correspond to the pair production process by absorbing different frequency component photons. Moreover, the interference effect can also be understood qualitatively by analyzing turning-point structures. The study of the pair number density shows that the number density is very sensitive to modulation parameters and can be enhanced by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude for certain modulation parameters, which may provide a new way to increase the number of created electron-positron pairs in future experiments.
