Signatures of tunneling and multiphoton ionization by short-laser pulses: The partial-wave distribution
We analyze the two-dimensional angular momentum-energy distribution of electrons emitted from argon by short laser pulses. We identify characteristic features of both multiphoton and tunneling ionization in the partial-wave distribution for Keldysh parameters close to unity. We observe a remarkable degree of quantum-classical correspondence in the photoinization process which becomes even more ...
متن کاملMultiple Ionization of Atoms by 25 and 7 fs Laser Pulses
Double, triple and fourfold ionization of rare gas atoms has been studied using a “reaction microscope”. We show that ionization dynamics drastically depends on atomic species and present the first data obtained with few-cycle pulses. Since the first experimental observation of doubly charged ions produced by intense laser field [1], many-electron dynamics in laser-induced ionization has been t...
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 کاملRobust carrier-envelope phase retrieval of few-cycle laser pulses
The two-dimensional momentum distributions of high-energy photoelectrons generated in the above-threshold ionization of atoms by intense laser pulses are analysed as resulting from the elastic backscattering of laser-induced returning electrons. Using this quantitative rescattering theory, we show that the returning electron wave packets are entirely determined by the properties of the laser pu...
متن کاملTwo-active electron approach to multi-electron systems in intense ultrashort laser pulses: Application to Liâ•fi
The interaction of Li– with an ultrashort intense laser pulse is investigated by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) in the dipole approximation using a two-active electron approach. We describe the numerical solution of the TDSE and give a more detailed presentation of a technique for obtaining angular distributions for double ionization by intense ultrashort laser pulses. W...
