Electron energy spectra from intense laser double ionization of helium.

چکیده
The double ionization of helium in the strong-field limit has been studied using an electron-ion coincidence technique. The observed double ionization electron energy spectra differ significantly from the single ionization distributions. This gives new support to the rescattering model of double ionization and explicitly reveals the role of backward electron emission following the e-2e ionizing collision.

Double ionization of H2 by intense attosecond laser pulses
We present calculations of the double ionization of H2 induced by an intense attosecond laser pulse at a photon energy of 40 eV using the time-dependent close-coupling method within the fixed nuclei approximation. We focus on two-photon absorption processes and examine how the response of the ejected electrons, in particular the singleand the double-energy differential probabilities, is affecte...
متن کاملMultiphoton Rabi oscillations of correlated electrons in strong-field nonsequential double ionization
With quantum calculations, we have investigated the multiphoton nonsequential double ionization of helium atoms in intense laser fields at ultraviolet wavelengths. Very surprisingly, we found a so-far unobserved doublecircle structure in the correlated electron momentum spectra. The double-circle structure essentially reveals multiphoton Rabi oscillations of two electrons, which are strongly su...
متن کاملQuantitative rescattering theory of correlated two-electron momentum spectra for strong-field nonsequential double ionization of helium
We study the correlated two-electron momentum spectra of the nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of an atom in an intense laser field based on the recently developed quantitative rescattering (QRS) theory. According to the rescattering model, an electron that was released earlier in the laser pulse may return to collide again with the target ion. NSDI can occur directly if this electron knoc...
متن کاملHigh-energy cutoff in the spectrum of strong-field nonsequential double ionization.
Electron energy distributions of singly and doubly ionized helium in an intense 390 nm laser field have been measured at two intensities (0.8 PW/cm2 and 1.1 PW/cm2, where PW is defined as 10(15) W/cm2). Numerical solutions of the full-dimensional time-dependent helium Schrödinger equation show excellent agreement with the experimental measurements. The high-energy portion of the two-electron en...
متن کاملSingle and Multiple Electron Dynamics in the Strong Field Limit
High precision photoelectron energy and angular distributions in helium and neon atoms for a broad intensity range reflect the change in the continuum dynamics that occurs as the ionization process evolves into the pure tunneling regime. Elastic rescattering of the laser-driven free electron from its parent ion core leaves a distinct signature on the spectra, providing a direct quantitative tes...
