Two-path interference in the resonance-enhanced few-photon ionization of atoms

B. P. Acharya, S. Dubey, K. L. Romans +6

We investigate the resonance-enhanced few-photon ionization of atomic lithium by linearly polarized light whose frequency is tuned near the 2s-2p transition. Considering the direct…

Photo-ionization of polarized lithium atoms out of an all-optical atom trap: A complete experiment

F. Thini, K. L. Romans, B. P. Acharya +8

An all-optical, near-resonant laser atom trap is used to prepare an electronically excited and polarized gas target at mK-temperature for complete photo-ionization studies. As a pr…
