Collisional ionization under strong laser irradiation
C.E.N.-Saclay, Service de Physique des Atomes et des Surfaces, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex, France
The main laser-induced collisional ionization processes are examined according to the shape and the relative position of the input and output channel potential curves. The different cases are illustrated by a few systems under experimental investigation, with emphasis on beam experiments.
Résumé
Les principaux processus d'ionisation collisionnelle induits par laser sont examinés suivant l'allure et la position respective des courbes de potentiel des voies d'entrée et de sortie. On illustre ces différents cas par quelques systèmes étudiés expérimentalement, en mettant l'accent sur les dispositifs utilisant des faisceaux.
