Angular distribution of ejected electrons at the laser-cluster interactions

The histograms of deflection angles of electrons ejected from Xe clusters irradiated by femtosecond super-intense laser pulses are presented. The dependence of the angular distribution on the peak laser intensity, the pulse duration, and the cluster position is considered. A clear relationship between the final electron energy and the deflection angle is shown. The deflection angles are calculated by solving the relativistic equation of motion taking into account the Lorentz force and the Coulomb field of the ionized cluster. The ions in the cluster undergo sequential multiple ionization up to charge multiplicity Z = 26. The measurements of the electron angular distributions allow us to reproduce the imaging dynamics of outer ionization of the cluster at the leading edge of the relativistic femtosecond laser pulse.     

Inelastic scattering of broadband electron wave packets driven by an intense midinfrared laser field

Intense, 100 fs laser pulses at 3.2 and 3.6 μm are used to generate, by multiphoton ionization, broadband wave packets with up to 400 eV of kinetic energy and charge states up to Xe(+6). The multiple ionization pathways are well described by a white electron wave packet and field-free inelastic cross sections, averaged over the intensity-dependent energy distribution for (e, ne) electron impact ionization. The analysis also suggests a contribution from a 4d core excitation, or giant resonance, in xenon.     

Correlation between double and nonresonant single ionization

We performed simultaneous measurements of electrons and ions produced in Xe photoionization driven by an 800-nm, 100-fs laser pulse. The obtained energy and angular resolved electron spectra allow the identification of the electronic states populated during the ionization. Xe2+ ions appear at the same laser intensity as electrons emerging from a nonresonant 9-photon ionization process of Xe. Similar to optical tunneling ionization, the nonresonant ionization delivers low-energy electrons needed for the formation of Xe2+ by a backscattering process.     

Emission of thermally activated electrons from rare gas clusters irradiated with intense VUV light pulses from a free electron laser

The ionization dynamics of Ar and Xe clusters irradiated with intense vacuum ultraviolet light from a free-electron laser is investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Clusters comprising between 70 and 900 atoms were irradiated with femtosecond pulses at 95 nm wavelength (approximately 13 eV photon energy) and a peak intensity of approximately 4 x 10(12) W/cm2. A broad thermal distribution of emitted electrons from clusters with a maximum kinetic energy up to 30-40 eV is observed. The observation of relatively low-energy photoelectrons is in good agreement with calculations using a time-dependent Thomas-Fermi model and gives experimental evidence of an outer ionization process of the clusters, due to delayed thermoelectronic emission.     

Multiphoton Ionization of Potassium Atoms in Femtosecond Laser Fields

We study the multiphoton ionization of potassium atoms in 800 nm and 400 nm femtosecond laser fields.In the 800 nm laser field,the potassium atom absorbs three photons and emits one electron via one photon resonance with the 4p intermediate state with the help of the ac-Stark shift.The resonance feature is clearly shown as an Autler-Townes(AT) splitting and is mapped out in the electron kinetic energy spectrum.In a 400 nm laser field,although one photon resonance is possible with the 5p state,no splitting is observed.The different transition amplitudes between 4s-4p and 4s-5p explain the observed results.Due to the AT effect,an unexpected peak in the photoelectron energy spectrum that violates the dipole transition rule is observed.A preliminary explanation involving the spin-orbit interaction in the p state is given to account for this component.The observed ATsplitting in the electron kinetic energy distribution can be used as an effective method to calibrate the intensity of a laser field.     

Experimental verification of quadrupole-dipole interference in spin-resolved photoionization

We have measured the spin polarization of Xe (4p)(-1) photoelectrons after ionization with circularly polarized light at photon energies close to the ionization threshold where a resonant enhancement of quadrupole transitions has recently been predicted. At a reaction angle of 90 degrees a nonvanishing longitudinal spin polarization component of about 4% clearly indicates a quadrupole contribution to the photoexcitation. This is the first experimental evidence for the influence of nondipole transitions on the photoionization process at excitation energies much below 1 keV in an observable other than the intensity angular distribution.
