We report on nonsequential double ionization of Ar by a laser pulse consisting of two counterrotating circularly polarized fields (390 and 780 nm). The double-ionization probability depends strongly on the relative intensity of the two fields and shows a kneelike structure as a function of intensity. We conclude that double ionization is driven by a beam of nearly monoenergetic recolliding electrons, which can be controlled in intensity and energy by the field parameters. The electron momentum distributions show the recolliding electron as well as a second electron which escapes from an intermediate excited state of Ar^{+}.
我们报告了用由两个反向旋转的圆偏振场(390和780纳米)组成的激光脉冲对氩进行非顺序双电离的情况。双电离概率强烈依赖于两个场的相对强度,并呈现出作为强度函数的膝状结构。我们得出结论,双电离是由一束几乎单能的再碰撞电子驱动的,其强度和能量可通过场参数进行控制。电子动量分布显示了再碰撞电子以及从Ar⁺的中间激发态逃逸的第二个电子。
