Title: Resonant two-photon autoionization of H/sub 2/. III. Effect of laser bandwidth and ac Stark shift on photoelectron angular distribution and line shape of the intermediate state

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

In the case of resonant two-photon autoionization of H/sub 2/, the influence of laser bandwidth on the photoelectron angular distribution is seen to be large at lower intensities (approx.10/sup 6/ W/cm/sup 2/), but gradually disappears towards higher intensities. At very high intensities (approx.10/sup 12/ W/cm/sup 2/), the ac Stark shift of the resonant intermediate state is found to affect the distribution significantly. It has also been found that the Stark-shifted line shape of the intermediate state tends to be symmetrical around zero detuning on increasing the laser bandwidth.
