Two-photon ionization of colliding atoms

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Semiclassical expressions of two-photon ionization of two colliding atoms are derived for a wide range of electromagnetic field intensity and detunings from the isolated atom line. The dependence of the ionization yield on the details of the interaction potential of the system is derived. This process promises an extremely sensitive method for studying line broadening on the far wing, especially when absorption or fluorescence becomes very weak.
