Photoexcitation and photoionization of alkali atoms

Xiao-Qiu Qi, Wang Feng, Dai Chang-Jian

The dynamical process of photoexcitation and photoionization of alkali atoms is studied with three-step laser pulses, focusing on the similarities and differences between Li and Cs atoms on their properties by making a comparison of them. Based on several excitation schemes, the present work not only establishes the rate equations of atom population for all related transition states, but also obtains the analytical solutions of photoexcitation and photoionization process. The mathematical solutions are simplified significantly by restricting the most general case to the several special cases, either designed or selected carefully, in order to highlight the main factors and obtain the physical insight underlying the complicated mathematical expressions. With self-programming, the possible impact of time configuration of laser pulses on the three-step laser excitation process of the photoexcitation and photoionization is calculated and studied systematically. Variation of the ionization efficiency with the laser parameters is investigated and discussed. With the same time configuration of laser pulses, the dependences of atom population for all the related transition states on the two different excitation paths are compared and analyzed, reflecting the impact of changing the atomic parameters. Under the similar excitation conditions, the differences of ionization efficiency between Li and Cs atoms are explored. Finally, based on the present study, several means for optimizing ionization efficiency are proposed.

Asymmetry of superradiance under delayed excitation

V. S. Egorov, V.D. Laptev, N. M. Reutova +1 more

It is shown that the asymmetric nature of the radiation emitted by a self-terminating neon laser (? = 614.3 nm) is a consequence of the propagation of ionizing potential gradient waves that ensure the traveling nature of the excitation of a gas. A solution of the Maxwell-Bloch equations yields formulas relating the delay between the appearance of superradiance pulses from the opposite ends of a source to the velocity of propagation of these waves. Estimates obtained of the velocity of propagation of ionizing potential gradient waves in neon are in agreement with the available experimental data.

Vibrational and electronic excitation of ionized nitrogen molecules in intense laser fields

Xunqi Zhong, Zhiming Miao, Linlin Zhang +6 more

Nitrogen molecules are ionized when an intense 800-nm femtosecond laser propagates through a nitrogen gas cell. We experimentally probe the relative population in different vibrational states and electronic states of ionized nitrogen molecules by using an external seed with various wavelengths. It is found that the seed is amplified or attenuated depending on its wavelength when the seed passes through the ionized nitrogen gas. Through measuring the temporal profile, the amplified emission is attributed to the seed-triggered superradiance. Combining with theoretical calculation, our results demonstrate that both vibrational and electronic excitation occurs for ionized nitrogen molecules in 800-nm femtosecond laser fields. The population inversion is built between some quantum states of ionized nitrogen molecules, through which the seed-triggered superradiance is achieved.
