摘要
In intense field ionization, an electron removed from the atomic core oscillates in the combined fields of the laser and the parent ion. This oscillation forces repeated revivals of its spatial correlation with the bound electrons. The total probability of double ionization depends on the number of returns and therefore on the number of optical periods in the laser pulse. We observed the yield of Ne2+ relative to Ne+ with 12 fs pulses to be clearly less compared to 50 fs pulses in qualitative agreement with our theoretical model.
