Time-resolved 3D momentum spectroscopy in continuous wave atomic photoionization

Kevin L. Romans, Bishnu P. Acharya, A. H. Nishshanka. C. De Silva +3

An experimental continuous-wave (cw) pump-probe scheme is demonstrated by investigating the population and photoionization dynamics of an atomic system. Specifically, Li atoms…

A Continuous Pump-Probe Experiment to Observe Zeeman Wave Packet Dynamics

Kevin L. Romans, Kyle Foster, Shruti Majumdar +4

In this work, we study the coherent dynamics of an atomic Zeeman wave packet using a continuous pump--probe scheme. A polarized wave packet is generated via few-photon excitation b…
