Laser induced ionization
Multiphoton Ionization (MPI)If th f i l h t i ll th th i i ti t ti lIf the energy of a single photon is smaller than the ionization potential
of the bound state, an electron can still gain enough energy to overcome thepotential barrier of the nucleus by absorbing several lower frequency photons ona short timescale process called MPI.
Above-threshold ionization (ATI) is an extension of MPI, where anelectron is excited by more photons than strictly necessary to free it from thee ect o s e c ted by o e p oto s t a st ct y ecessa y to ee t o t eatom.
Tunneling IonizationTunneling IonizationWhen the intensity is increased further, the laser field is strong enough
to significantly distort the atomic potential. At a certain distance on the righthand side of the atom, the coulomb barrier is lowered beneath the bindingenergy of the electron. Thus, quantum mechanically the previously bound state isenabled to tunnel through this barrier with some finite probability, a mechanismwhich is referred to a tunneling ionization.
