Abstract

Photoelectron ionization spectra of an autoionization system with one discrete level interacting with a neighbor two-level atom are discussed. The formula for long-time ionization spectra is derived. According to this formula, the spectra can be composed of up to eight peaks. Moreover, the Fano-like zeros for weak optical pumping are identified in these spectra. The conditional ionization spectra depending on the state of the neighbor atom exhibit oscillations at the Rabi frequency. Dynamical spectral zeros occurring once per the Rabi period are revealed in these spectra.

Fano zeros in photoelectron spectra of an autoionization system interacting with a neighboring atom

Jan Peřina, A. Lukš, Vlasta Peřinová +1 more

Photoelectron ionization spectra of an autoionization system interacting with a neighboring two-level atom are studied using the method of canonical transformation. Conditions for the occurrence of a Fano zero are exactly derived, together with its frequency. Ionization spectra are typically composed of at most four peaks in this case. Sharp peaks occur not far from the Fano zero due to the confluence of bound-free coherences. Spectral peaks close to the Fano zero are suppressed. Also dynamical zeros appearing once per the Rabi period in conditioned photoelectron ionization spectra are observed.

Photoionization electron spectra in a system interacting with a neighboring atom

Jan Peřina, A. Lukš, W. Leoński +1 more

Photoelectron ionization spectra of a system interacting with a neighbor two-level atom are investigated using the Laplace-transform method. These spectra are typically composed of several peaks. Photoelectron ionization spectra conditioned by the measurement on the two-level atom show oscillations at the Rabi frequency. The presence of spectral zeros occurring periodically with the Rabi period is predicted. This phenomenon is analyzed in detail.

Photoelectron spectra for an atom with one autoionizing level that interacts with a neighbor

A. Lukš, Vlasta Peřinová, Jan Peřina +2 more

We investigate two atoms coupled with a quantized field mode. Whereas one is the Jaynes-Cummings (JC) two-level atom, the other is an autoionizing system with two discrete levels and a continuum of states. In case interactions between the atoms do not occur, the periodic behavior of the JC atom contrasts with the autoionizing system. We ask whether or not a seesaw-like interaction between the atoms can change the behavior of the JC atom. We present photoelectron spectra dependent on the time for various initial states of the field mode.

Effect of additional dc-field coupling on the long-time photoelectron spectrum from a system with double autoionizing levels

W. Leoński, R. Tanaś

The atomic model that contains two autoionization levels coupled to the discrete ground state by an external laser field is discussed. In addition both autoionizing levels are coupled mutually by the dc-electric-field gradient. The analytical formula for the long-time photoelectron spectrum is found for this system. Calculations are performed that are valid for any strength of the laser field and the dc-electric-field gradient. The effects of the additional coupling by the dc-electric-field gradient on the photoelectron spectrum are discussed and illustrated graphically.

Above-threshold Ionization Photoelectron Spectrum Induced by a Train of Ultra-short Laser Pulses

J. [Sgrave]wiatzlowski, W. Leoński

We discuss an atomic system comprising a single discrete, ground level and two orthogonal continua. We assume that the continua are structured m we discuss two cases: that of Lorentzian continua, and the case of Gaussian structures. Our system is irradiated by an external laser field in the form of a train of ultra-short pulses. The analytic formulas for long-time photoelectron spectra are found and discussed for various values of the parameters describing our system.

Radiative decay of autoionizing states in laser fields. I. General theory

G. S. Agarwal, Stanley L. Haan, J. Cooper

A theory describing the radiative decay of an autoionizing state under strong pumping by a coherent field is developed. The theory systematically takes into account the radiative decay of the unperturbed continuum. The problem at hand corresponds to the case of strongly coupled bound states decaying to electron and photon continua with the two continua also weakly coupled to each other. A master equation describing the time evolution of the atomic system is derived, and its exact solution under arbitrary initial conditions is given. The effect of radiative decay on the Fano profiles and photoelectron spectra is analyzed in detail. The time development of the system is also examined. The radiative decay of the autoionizing state and the unperturbed continuum changes the spectra in a significant way. The characteristics of the spectra are correlated with the dressed states (with complex energies) of the system. The changes in the structure of the dressed states as a function of the system parameters such as the spontaneous-emission rate and laser intensity are discussed in detail.
