Field-ionization threshold and its induced ionization-window phenomenon for Rydberg atoms in a short single-cycle pulse [PDF]
We study the field-ionization threshold behavior when a Rydberg atom is ionized by a short single-cycle pulse field. Both hydrogen and sodium atoms are considered. The required threshold field amplitude is found to scale \emph{inversely} with the binding

Picosecond ionization dynamics in femtosecond filaments at high pressures [PDF]
We investigate the plasma dynamics inside a femtosecond-pulse-induced filament generated in an argon gas for a wide range of pressures up to 60 bar. At higher pressures, we observe ionization immediately following a pulse, with up to a threefold increase

Cavity-enhanced photoionization of an ultracold rubidium beam for application in focused ion beams [PDF]
A two-step photoionization strategy of an ultracold rubidium beam for application in a focused ion beam instrument is analyzed and implemented. In this strategy the atomic beam is partly selected with an aperture after which the transmitted atoms are ...

Ultrafast electro-nuclear dynamics of H2 double ionization [PDF]
The ultrafast electronic and nuclear dynamics of H2 laser-induced double ionization is studied using a time-dependent wave packet approach that goes beyond the fixed nuclei approximation.

Effect of impact ionization in the InGaAs absorber on excess noise of avalanche photodiodes [PDF]
The effects of impact ionization in the InGaAs absorption layer on the multiplication, excess noise and breakdown voltage are modeled for avalanche photodiodes (APDs), both with InP and with InAlAs multiplication regions.

Intensity-Resolved Above Threshold Ionization of Xenon with Short Laser Pulses [PDF]
We present intensity-resolved above threshold ionization (ATI) spectra of xenon using an intensity scanning and deconvolution technique. Experimental data were obtained with laser pulses of 58 fs and central wavelength of 800 nm from a chirped-pulse ...

The different origins of high- and low-ionization broad emission lines revealed by gravitational microlensing in the Einstein cross [PDF]
We investigate the kinematics and ionization structure of the broad emission line region of the gravitationally lensed quasar QSO2237+0305 (the Einstein cross) using differential microlensing in the high- and low-ionization broad emission lines.

Low ionization state plasma in CMEs
The Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) often observes low ionization state coronal mass ejection (CME) plasma at ultraviolet wavelengths. The CME plasmas are often detected in O VI (3x10^5K), C III

In conditions where the interaction betweeen an atom and a short high-frequency extreme ultraviolet laser pulse is a perturbation, we show that a simple theoretical approach, based on Coulomb-Volkov-type states, can make reliable predictions for ...

Instantaneous ionization rate as a functional derivative [PDF]
We describe an approach defining instantaneous ionization rate (IIR) as a functional derivative of the total ionization probability. The definition is based on physical quantities which are directly measurable, such as the total ionization probability ...
