Channel-closing-induced resonances in the above-threshold ionization plateau
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiphoton resonances with ponderomotively upshifted Rydberg states are believed to have dramatic effects on the plateau of high-order above-threshold ionization. For short pulses and intense laser fields, individual Rydberg states lose their physical significance. Under these conditions, on the basis of experimental and theoretical investigation of the dependence of the photoelectron spectra on the laser intensity, we propose that the observed effects can be largely understood in terms of the channel closings that are characteristic of a short-range model potential.

Channel-closing effects in high-order above-threshold ionization and high-order harmonic generation
The strong-field approximation, amended so as to allow for rescattering, is used to calculate high-order above-threshold ionization (ATI) spectra. The single-active-electron binding potential is modelled by a zero-range potential. The emphasis is on enhancements of groups of ATI peaks that occur for sharply defined laser intensities. The enhancements are traced to multiphoton resonance with the...
متن کاملThreshold-Related Effects on the High Energy Plateau in Above-Threshold Detachment
We present results of a nonperturbative Floquet study of above-threshold detachment (ATD) of the H – and F – negative ions. Pronounced enhancements of ATD rates in the high-energy plateau region are found as the laser field intensity passes across ponderomotively shifted multiphoton thresholds. Depending on the symmetry of the initial state ( s or p symmetry), the enhancement is found to be mos...
متن کاملThreshold-related enhancement of the high-energy plateau in above-threshold detachment.
We present nonperturbative theoretical results showing a resonant-like enhancement of above-threshold detachment spectra in the region of the high-energy plateau as the laser intensity sweeps across channel thresholds. This enhancement has a pure quantum origin stemming from well-known threshold phenomena in multichannel problems whose features are clearly demonstrated in our numerical results....

An improved quasistatic model is used to describe the ionization process of atoms in intense linearly polarized fields. Numerical calculations of AboveThreshold-Ionization (ATI) energy spectra and photoelectron angular distributions (PAD) of hydrogen atoms reveal clearly plateau and side lobe structures, which are in good agreement with recent ATI experiments. Our results show that, the existen...
