Electric Quadrupole Transitions in Multiphoton Ionization

It is shown that even for optical frequencies the dipole approximation is not always valid in multiphoton ionization. For certain photon frequencies, we find quadrupole-dipole contributions which are several orders of magnitude larger than the usual dipole-dipole contribution to two-photon ionization.

Laser-induced gas breakdown: Multipole interference in the two-photon ionization of metastable helium

K. C. Mathur

The two-photon ionization of the He atom in the $2^{1}S$ state is studied in the electric dipole plus quadrupole approximation. A quadrupole resonance peak in the generalized cross section is obtained at 5043.5 \AA{}A. It is shown that for incident photons having wavelengths between 5042 and 5045 \AA{}A, the quadrupole term gives a significant contribution to the total generalized cross section.

On the two-photon ionization of atomic caesium: electric-dipole plus quadrupole approximation

Y. Flank, G Laplanche, M. Jaouen +1 more

Calculations of the two-photon ionisation probability rates of atomic caesium are reported for incident photon energies between 19400 and 22000cm -1 . In this work the authors have taken into account the electric-dipole plus quadrupole approximation. The discrepancy between the theoretical results and experimental measurements is not explained in spite of the introduction of the quadrupole contribution as was suggested elsewhere.
