Optimization of N_{2}^{+} lasing through population depletion in the X^{2}Σ_{g}^{+} state using elliptically modulated ultrashort intense laser fields

We generate unidirectional coherent radiations at 391 and 428 nm corresponding to the B^{2}Σ_{u}^{+}-X^{2}Σ_{g}^{+} (0,0) and (0,1) emission of N_{2}^{+} by irradiating neutral N_{2} with an elliptically modulated near-IR ultrashort laser field generated using a quarter-wave plate (QWP) with the dif...
