Coherent fluorescence radiation following photoexcitation and photoionization

Abstract

We present concise parametrized expressions for the angular distribution and polarization of the coherent fluorescence radiation following photoexcitation and photoionization including all multipole transitions. Many interesting cases are discussed, and their implications are pointed out.

Angular distribution of fluorescence following two-photon absorption

C. W. P. Palmer

Formulae are derived for the angular distribution of fluorescence following Doppler-free two-photon absorption, in terms of the polarization and propagation vectors of the photons involved. The relationship to another, more indirect, approach is briefly discussed.

Angular Distribution of Radiation Following Photoionization of Polarized Atoms

Alicija Kupliauskienė, V Tutlys

A method alternative to the density matrix formalism is applied to derive a general expression for the radiative decay probability following the photoionization of polarized atoms in two-step approximation. The graphical technique of the angular momentum theory is used for the integration over angular and spin variables. The general expression joining both steps of photoionization and fluorescence contains the possibility to investigate the polarization of all particles in the initial and final states and the angular distributions as well as angular correlations of photoelectrons and radiation. A simple way to get the expressions for special cases of the angular distribution and polarization of fluorescence radiation in the photoionization of randomly orientated and polarized atoms is given as an example of the practical application of the general formula.

Polarisation of fluorescence radiation following atomic photoionisation

H. Klar

The polarisation and angular distribution pattern of radiation emitted from excited ions are investigated. Anisotropic electron-ion interactions are shown to play an important role for the polarisation of emitted light. Some examples are discussed.

Angular correlation and entanglement between a spin-polarization-resolved photoelectron and a polarization-resolved fluorescent photon

K. Jänkälä

A theoretical study of the angular correlation and angular variation of entanglement between a photoelectron and a fluorescent photon in photoionization of atoms is provided. The formulation is developed for experiments where spin polarization of a photoelectron and polarization of the subsequent fluorescent photon are detected in a coincidence measurement. The applied formalism of parameterization of all polarization sensitivities of the detectors using Stokes parameters and of the use of statistical and efficiency tensors provides straightforward implementation for any experimental geometry. The framework is demonstrated in the case of calcium photoionization followed by radiative decay.

Photoexcitation of polarized atoms by polarized radiation

Alicija Kupliauskienė

An expression for the probability of the excitation of polarized atoms by polarized radiation is obtained by using the graphical technique of angular momentum. In the case of pure states, the applied method is an alternative to that of density matrix formalism. The obtained expression enables one to describe the polarization state of an excited atom and can be used to derive formulas for the special cases under specific experimental conditions as well as for the photoexcitation as the first step process. The application of obtained expressions for the description of multistep processes is discussed. The photoexcitation of unpolarized atoms by polarized radiation and polarized atoms by unpolarized radiation is considered as the examples of practical application of the obtained general expression.
