Plateau in Above-Threshold-Ionization Spectra and Chaotic Behavior in Rescattering Process
نویسنده
چکیده
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 existence of this plateau and side lobes is consequences of the classical kinematics of the electrons in combined atom and laser fields. Furthermore, we find that the onset of these unusual phenomena is related to the onset of the chaotic behavior in the system. PACS: 32.80.Rm, 05.45.+b Typeset using REVTEX

J an 1 99 8 Chaotic Behavior of a One - dimensional Model Atom in an Intense Field ∗
In this paper we describe the rescattering process in optical field ionization through a one-dimensional model, which improves the well-known quasistatic model by adding the smoothed Coulomb potential in its second step. The above-threshold ionization spectra and high-order harmonic generation are calculated from this model. They are qualitatively in agreement with the quantum results and exper...
متن کاملFAST TRACK COMMUNICATION Origin of species dependence of high-energy plateau photoelectron spectra
We analysed the energy and momentum distributions of high-energy ‘plateau’ photoelectrons. These electrons, with energies above 4Up (Up is the ponderomotive energy), have been understood qualitatively as due to the backscattering of laser-induced returning electrons by the target ion. Here, we establish a quantitative rescattering (QRS) theory to show that the species and laser-intensity depend...
متن کاملTwo-source double-slit interference in angle-resolved high-energy above-threshold ionization spectra of diatoms.
When an electron from a diatomic molecule undergoes tunneling-rescattering ionization, a novel form of destructive interference can be realized that involves all four geometric orbits that are available to the electron when it is freed, because both ionization and rescattering may take place at the same or at different centers. We find experimentally and confirm theoretically that in orientatio...
متن کاملElectron rescattering in above-threshold photodetachment of negative ions.
We present experimental and theoretical results on photodetachment of Br(-) and F(-) in a strong infrared laser field. The observed photoelectron spectra of Br(-) exhibit a high-energy plateau along the laser polarization direction, which is identified as being due to the rescattering effect. The shape and the extension of the plateau is found to be influenced by the depletion of negative ions ...
متن کاملRescattering effects in the multiphoton regime
The plateau features that characterize the low-frequency spectra of fundamental strong-fi eld processes such as harmonic generation, above-threshold ionization and laserassisted electron-atom scattering are shown to exist also for photon energies Eγ of the order of the energy |E0| of a bound electron. The existence of these rescattering effects in such a high-frequency (and thus nontunnelling) ...
