Abstract
Dynamic interference is an elusive strong-field effect where photoelectrons from intense laser pulses interfere in time, forming rich kinetic energy patterns. Here, we present the first experimental demonstration of isolated dynamic interference using a novel two-color scheme: chirped laser-assisted dynamic interference. Isolation was achieved with a crossed-polarization setup combining an extreme ultraviolet harmonic field and an infrared pulse with tailored spectrotemporal properties. Beyond prior works, our approach enables precise control over interfering trajectories, yielding holographic interference patterns and advancing our understanding of strong-field phenomena.
