Multiple ionization of atoms by multiphoton excitation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Recently, a new experimental regime, in which the optical field strength E is considerably greater than an atomic unit (e/a02 ) has opened for systematic study.1 Indeed, electric field strengths of the order of 100 (e/a02) should be attainable. This extraordinary range of field strengths has become accessible principally because of the availability of a UV laser technology capable of producing subpicosecond pulses2,3 with energies approaching the Joule level in low divergence beams at high repetition rates. Clearly, a technology of this genre will make possible the creation of physical conditions unachievable with any other known experimental means.
