“…In particular, coherently enhanced pair creation by a photon propagating through a crystal has been studied in detail [20]. Similar interference effects occur in pair production on molecules [21,22]. In both cases, the pairs can be produced at two or more Coulombic centers, with the corresponding S -matrix amplitudes adding up coherently and leading to interference.…”

We study the creation of electron-positron pairs in the superposition of a nuclear Coulomb field and a twocolor laser field of high intensity. Our focus lies on quantum interference effects, which may arise if the two laser frequencies are commensurable. We show that the interference manifests in the angular distributions of the created particles, which are discussed in the nuclear rest frame and the laboratory frame. Additionally, we demonstrate that the total pair-production rates can be affected by interference and identify the relative phase between the two laser modes, which optimizes the pair-production yield.

We investigate electron-positron pair creation in the interaction of a nuclear Coulomb field and a highly intense two-mode laser field. For bichromatic laser fields, we examine the differences arising for commensurable and incommensurable frequencies in a continuous variation of the laser frequency ratio and the quantum interference effects, which may occur in the commensurable case. We show that the interference manifests in the angular distributions and the total pair-production rates of the created particles. Additionally, by varying the amplitudes of the two modes we study pair creation in a monochromatic laser wave of arbitrarily elliptical polarization. arXiv:1310.7110v1 [physics.atom-ph]
