Discovery of new kinds of resonances in multiphoton ionization of Ba atoms in two laser fields

Abstract

The new unknown resonances which occur in the case of multiphoton ionization of Ba atoms at simultaneous influence of two laser fields were discovered. The character of the display of these resonances depends on mutual orientation of polarization vectors of these fields.

Multiphoton ionization of atoms in the presence of multiple resonances

Svetlana Kotochigova

A model of multiple resonances between groups of discrete and autoionizing levels is proposed for the description of the process of multiphoton ionization. The phenomena of the extremely rapid broadening and growth of amplitudes of the multiphoton resonances, observed experimentally in the yield of Sr+ and Ba+ ions [ J. Phys. B.14, 2253– 2359 ( 1981);Elementary Processes in Laser Radiation Field ( 1988), pp. 122– 153)] are explained on the basis of this model. The strong-coupling method was used in numerical calculations for Sr and Ba atoms in a strong laser field.

Multiphoton Double Ionization of Ba

Yachao Zhu, U. Eichmann, Thomas F. Gallagher

In an effort to gain more insight into the process of multiphoton multiple ionization, several experiments have recently been carried out to determine the wavelength dependence of the double ionization of Sr and Ba. 1-3 These studies were not as conclusive as one might hope, in that the observed resonances in the production of Sr++ and Ba++ did not quite match the energy levels of Sr+ and Ba+. Here we report experiments in which we have compared the spectra for the production of Ba by an intense laser with and without the population of specific states of Ba by modest secondary lasers. The results of these experiments show clearly that Ba++ is produced by first producing real intermediate states of Ba+ which are multiphoton ionized through intermediate resonances in Ba+.

Multiphoton ionization of atoms

Nikolai B. Delone

The most important results of study of multiphoton ionization of atoms are reviewed. Discussions are presented of specific features of the process, theoretical methods of description of ionization of atoms in a strong light field, the basic principles of design of experiments in which intense laser radiation is used, results of investigation of direct and resonance processes of multiphoton ionization, and the mutual relation between multiphoton processes (multiphoton excitation and ionization) and various phenomena leading to perturbation of the spectrum of bound states of an electron in an atom under the influence of a strong light field.

The two-electron mechanism of the formation of doubly charged ions by the multiphoton ionization of Ba atoms with two-laser radiation

І. І. Бондар, В. В. Суран

The experimental investigation of the formation of doubly charged ions by the multiphoton ionization of Ba atoms by simultaneous irradiation with the fundamental radiation of a colour centres laser (ω = 8800–8880 cm −1 ) and its second harmonics was carried out. A two-electron mechanism was observed to be responsible for the formation of these ions; they are formed as a result of the excitation and subsequent ionization of strongly perturbed states of neutral Ba atoms.

The experimental investigation of influence of perturbation on multiphoton ionization of Sr and Ba atoms using tunable IR radiation of laser on colour centres (ω = 8200-9100 cm−1 ) was performed. The investigations were performed at field strength e-106÷107 V/cm. The laser pulse duration was τ= 4 • 10−8 s.
