Photoelectron spectroscopy of laser-dressed atomic helium

Atomic Physics 2021-01-04 v1

Abstract

Photoelectron emission from excited states of laser-dressed atomic helium is analyzed with respect to laser intensity-dependent excitation energy shifts and angular distributions. In the two-color XUV (exteme ultra\-violet) -- IR (infrared) measurement, the XUV photon energy is scanned between \SI{20.4}{\electronvolt} and the ionization threshold at \SI{24.6}{\electronvolt}, revealing electric dipole-forbidden transitions for a temporally overlapping IR pulse ( ⁣\SIe12\watt\per\centi\meter\squared\sim\!\SI{e12}{\watt\per \centi\meter\squared}). The interpretation of the experimental results is supported by numerically solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation in a single-active-electron approximation.
