Systematic observation of tunneling field-ionization in highly excited Rb Rydberg atoms
Pulsed field ionization of high-n (90 ≤ n ≤ 150) manifold states in Rb Rydberg atoms has been investigated in high slew-rate regime. Two peaks in the field ionization spectra were systematically observed for the investigated n region, where the field values at the lower peak do not almost depend on the excitation energy in the manifold, while those at the higher peak increase with increasing ex...
متن کاملAutoionizing Rydberg wave packets.
In this paper we present some of the general features of autoionizing Rydberg wave packets. We assume the wave packets are generated by a short, perturbative laser pulse that excites the electronic wave function to a coherent distribution of final state energies in the autoionizing regime. We describe a possible experiment for generating and detecting these autoionizing wave packets. A physical...
متن کاملIonization of Rydberg wave packets by subpicosecond, half-cycle electromagnetic pulses.
We have studied the ionization of Rydberg wave packets by subpicosecond, nearly unipolar electromagnetic field pulses, in the regime where the duration of the electric field is less than the classical Kepler orbit time 2pn3 for the wave packet. In contrast to the subpicosecond optical pulses, subpicosecond field pulses can ionize wave packets when the probability density near the inner turning ...
متن کاملTime-dependent electron interactions in double Rydberg wave packets.
We investigate the time-dependent evolution of a nonstationary three-body Coulomb system at energies just below the threshold for three-body breakup. Experimentally, short-pulse lasers excite two electrons in Ba to radially localized Rydberg wave packets with well-defined energy and angular momentum. Time-dependent interactions between the two electrons are probed using half-cycle electric fiel...
متن کاملNon-dispersive wave packets in periodically driven quantum systems
With the exception of the harmonic oscillator, quantum wave-packets usually spread as time evolves. This is due to the non-linear character of the classical equations of motion which makes the various components of the wave-packet evolve at various frequencies. We show here that, using the nonlinear resonance between an internal frequency of a system and an external periodic driving, it is poss...
