Nonresonant Multiphoton Ionization of Stark Decelerated Molecules by Femtosecond Laser Pulses

Congsen Meng, Zhihui Lü, Xiaowei Wang +3 more

Nonresonant multiphoton ionization by femtosecond laser pulses can be applied to any molecule virtually, thereby greatly enhancing the scope of Stark decelerated molecules. For comparison, we detect decelerated and trapped ammonia molecules using two different schemes: (i) nonresonant multiphoton ionization using intense femtosecond (fs) pulses in the near infrared, and (ii) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization using nanosecond (ns) pulses from a tunable UV laser. The observed number of ions per shot for both schemes is similar. The fs laser detection scheme suffers from an increased background, which can be effectively eliminated by subsequent mass and velocity selection. To determine the detection volume of the ns laser detection scheme, we present measurements in which the decelerated ammonia molecules are bunched to a packet with a longitudinal spread well below ∼100 μm. It is concluded that the detection volume for the ns laser detection scheme is 1.5–2 times larger than that of the fs laser detection scheme.

Nonresonant interaction of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses with multilevel quantum systems

É. M. Belenov, Isakov Va, A. Nazarkin

Some features of the excitation of multilevel quantum systems under the action of electromagnetic pulses which are shorter than the inverse frequency of interlevel transitions are considered. It is shown that the interaction is characterized by a specific type of selectivity which is not connected with the resonant absorption of radiation. The simplest three-level model displays the inverse population of upper levels. The effect of an ultrashort laser pulse on a multilevel molecule was regarded as an instant reception of the oscillation velocity by the oscillator and this approach showed an effective excitation and dissociation of the molecule. The estimations testify to the fact that these effects can be observed using modern femtosecond lasers.
