Laser-assisted photoionization: beyond the dipole approximation
arXiv:2303.04646 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.107.053104
Abstract
We present a theoretical study of atomic laser-assisted photoionization emission (LAPE) beyond the dipole approximation. By considering the non-relativistic non-dipole strong-field approximation (non-dipole Gordon-Volkov wave function), we analyze the different contributions to the photoelectron spectrum (PES), which can be written in terms of intra- and intercycle factors. We find that not only does our non-dipole approach exhibit asymmetric emission in the direction of light propagation, but also allows emission in dipole-forbidden directions. The former feature can be rooted both in intra- and intercycle interference processes, whilst the latter stems from a dependence of the sideband energy on the emission angle with respect to the propagation direction. Our theoretical scheme, presented here for He atoms in the 1s quantum state, is general enough to be applied to other atomic species and field configurations.
