Abstract
Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) in potassium atom is investigated within the strong coupling regime using photoelectron momentum imaging techniques. The kinetic energy distribution of the ionized electrons reveals the eigenenergies of the dressed states, which exhibit Autler-Townes (AT) splitting. This splitting is proportional to the laser field strength. Partial wave analysis of the photoelectrons angular distributions (PAD) uncovers relative phase shifts between the dressed states, shedding light on attosecond ionization time delays. The observed phase shift between the two electron wave packets generated by the AT splitting arises from the combined effects of the Coulomb phase and the quantum defect phase.
