Tunneling ionization of noble gases in a high-intensity laser field

Augst, S., Strickland, D., Meyerhofer, D. D., Chin, S. L., Eberly, J. H.·1989·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Studies of multiphoton ionization of noble gases have been carried out using 1-\ensuremath{\mu}m, 1-ps laser pulses with intensities up to the mid- ${10}^{16}$ W/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$. To our knowledge, this work represents the first study of the production of highly ionized noble-gas ions done exclusively in the tunneling regime. It is found in this regime that the ionization at a given intensity depends on both the ionization potential and the charge state of the species. The onset of ionization occurs when the sum of the Coulomb and laser electric potentials causes the electron to be unbound.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
