The many faces of resonances in multiphoton ionization

Abstract

We present a theoretical analysis of multiphoton ionization through resonant intermediate states shifted through resonance during a short, intense pulse. The resonant structure in the photoelectron spectra is compared with what it would be if the peak intensity or the frequency of the laser were scanned, and the various differences are discussed in detail. The dynamical behavior is described in terms of a density matrix evolving under a realistic temporal and spatial pulse shape. Our results, on atoms with realistic parameters, show structure similar to that observed in recent experiments. Results for circularly polarized light are also presented. The limitations and advantages of the model are discussed.
