Integrity of dressed states in multiphoton ionisation

Piers Coleman, P. L. Knight

The dressed eigenstates of an atom interacting with a near-resonant radiation field are used to study the dynamics and final-state photoelectron spectra of resonant two-photon ionisation for arbitrary initial conditions and detunings. The authors find that under some circumstances (and particularly for intense fields) the dressed states preserve their integrity whilst decaying as distinguishable states, leading to AC Stark-split photoelectron energy spectra. In general, however, there exists an off-diagonal coupling between dressed states via the continuum so that each dressed state cannot decay independently of the existence of the other. This can modify lowest order expectations, particularly for weak fields and can entirely alter final-state spectra.

Renormalised Perturbation Theory of Resonant Multiphoton Ionisation

K. Unnikrishnan

Perturbation theory of multiphoton ionisation due to a classical electromagnetic field is modified to allow for intermediate resonances with bound states. Complex energies, generally associated with resonances, do not enter into this formalism. For a monochromatic field of frequency u, a constant ionisation rate can then be defined unambiguously and only such continuum states are excited which correspond to the absorption of energy in integral multiples of hu. As an application, differential and total cross sections for the two-photon ionisation of hydrogen, for frequencies below the n = 3 resonance region, are obtained in closed form. Existing data for generalised cross sections, calculated numerically using the complex coordinate method, are in good agreement with the present results. Finally, the mean fractional ionisation resulting from a pulse of finite duration is estimated on the basis of the associated power spectrum. For short pulses, the time dependence of ionisation exhibits a departure from that expected of a time-independent rate.
