Single and double multiphoton ionization of alkaline earth atoms via autoionizing states
Abstract
In the present study single and double one-colour multiphoton ionization of Alkaline-Earth atoms (Mg, Ca and Sr) is investigated experimentally (collection ions and fluorescence) in the vicinity of the four-photon doubly excited mp² ¹S₀ autoionizing states (m = 3,4,5 for Mg, Ca and Sr correspondingly). Especially for the Mg atom the experimental findings are reproduced by a theoretical model based on a combination of density matrix calculations and rate equations taking into account the near-resonant strong one-photon coupling between the 3p² ¹S₀ and 3p3d ¹P₁ autoionizing states. The experimental setup consists of an atomic beam apparatus (equipped with a TOF mass spectrometer) where the single and double photoionization experiments have been performed and a vapour-cell devoted to the studies of fluorescence detection. In both cases the laser radiation is provided by a Nd:YAG pumped dye laser system delivering linearly polarized pulses of ~5ns duration while the employed intensities un ...
