Spectroscopic Measurements of Sub-Laser Linewidth Autoionization Rates

If the lifetime of an autoionizing state is much shorter than the pulse length of the laser exciting it, then it is possible, with sufficient laser power, to ionize the entire atomic population. When the laser is tuned off resonance, it may still have sufficient power to ionize almost the entire population. The detuning at which the ionization efficiency will drop to 50% depends on the product of the laser pulse's energy density and the excited state's autoionizing rate.

Spectroscopic decay-rate measurements below the laser linewidth

William E. Cooke, S A Bhatti, Christopher L. Cromer

When two levels can be strongly coupled by a pulsed laser, it is possible to measure the decay rate from the upper state by applying sufficient laser power to depletion broaden the transition. The depletion broadening is proportional to the square root of the decay rate times the total energy density of the laser pulse. With sufficient laser power, this technique can be used even if the decay rate is smaller than inhomogeneous broadenings or the laser linewidth. The technique is used here to measure autoionizing rates of some 6P((1/2))ns states.
