Rydberg states in the strong field ionization of hydrogen by 800, 1200 and 1600 nm lasers
We study the population of Rydberg excited states in the strong field interaction of atomic hydrogen with 800, 1200 and 1600 nm laser pulses. The total excitation probability displays strong out-of-phase modulation with respect to the weak modulation in the total ionization probability as the laser intensity is increased. The results are explained in terms of channel closing, to demonstrate mul...
متن کاملZero kinetic energy-pulsed field ionization and resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization photoelectron spectroscopy: Ionization dynamics of Rydberg states in HBr
The results of rotationally resolved resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization photoelectron spectroscopy and zero kinetic energy-pulsed field ionization studies on HBr via various rotational levels of the F D2 and f D2 Rydberg states are reported. These studies lead to an accurate determination of the lowest ionization threshold as 94 098.961 cm. Observed rotational and spin–orbit branching ra...
متن کاملEjection Energy of Photoelectrons in Strong Field Ionization
We show that zero ejection energy of the photoelectrons is classically impossible for hydrogen-like ions, even when field ionization occurs adiabatically. To prove this we transform the basic equations to those describing two 2D anharmonic oscillators. The same method yields an alternative way to derive the anomalous critical field of hydrogen-like ions. The analytical results are confirmed and...
متن کاملField-ionization threshold and its induced ionization-window phenomenon for Rydberg atoms in a short single-cycle pulse
We study the field-ionization threshold behavior when a Rydberg atom is ionized by a short single-cycle pulse field. Both hydrogen and sodium atoms are considered. The required threshold field amplitude is found to scale inversely with the binding energy when the pulse duration becomes shorter than the classical Rydberg period, and, thus, more weakly bound electrons require larger fields for io...
متن کاملObservation of electron energy discretization in strong field double ionization.
We report on the observation of discrete structures in the electron energy distribution for strong field double ionization of argon at 394 nm. The experimental conditions were chosen in order to ensure a nonsequential ejection of both electrons with an intermediate rescattering step. We have found discrete above-threshold ionization like peaks in the sum energy of both electrons, as predicted b...
