Multiphoton ionization of helium is investigated in the superintense field regime, with particular emphasis on the role of the electron-electron interaction in the ionization and stabilization dynamics. To accomplish this, we solve ab initio the time-dependent Schrodinger equation with the full electron-electron interaction included. By comparing the ionization yields obtained from the full calculations with corresponding results of an independent-electron model, we come to the somewhat counterintuitive conclusion that the single-particle picture breaks down at superstrong field strengths. We explain this finding from the perspective of the so-called Kramers-Henneberger frame, the reference frame of a free (classical) electron moving in the field. The breakdown is tied to the fact that shake-up and shake-off processes cannot be properly accounted for in commonly used independent-electron models. In addition, we see evidence of a change from the multiphoton to the shake-off ionization regime in the energy distributions of the electrons. From the angular distribution it is apparent that correlation is an important factor even in this regime.

We report on the observation of phase space modulations in the correlated electron emission after strong field double ionization of helium using laser pulses with a wavelength of 394~nm and an intensity of $3cdot10^{14}$W/cm$^2$. Those modulations ar e identified as direct results of quantum mechanical selection rules predicted by many theoretical calculations. They only occur for an odd number of absorbed photons. By that we attribute this effect to the parity of the continuum wave function.
We report on a kinematically complete experiment on strong field double ionization of helium using laser pulses with a wavelength of 394,nm and intensities of $3.5-5.7times10^{14},W/cm^2$. Our experiment reaches the most complete level of detail whic h previously has only been reached for single photon double ionization. We give an overview over the observables on many levels of integration, starting from the ratio of double to single ionization, the individual electron and ion momentum distributions over joint momentum and energy distributions to fully differential cross sections showing the correlated angular momentum distributions. Within the studied intensity range the ratio of double to single ionization changes from $2times 10^{-4}$ to $1.5times 10^{-3}$. We find the momentum distributions of the $rm{He}^{2+}$ ions and the correlated two electron momentum distributions to vary substantially. Only at the highest intensity both electrons are emitted to the same direction while at the lowest intensity back-to-back emission dominates. The joint energy distribution of the electrons shows discrete structures from the energy quantization of the photon field which allows us to count the number of absorbed photons and thus access the parity of the final state. We find the energy of the individual electron to show a peak structure indicating a quantized sharing of the overall energy absorbed from the field. The joint angular momentum distributions of the two electrons show a highly directed emission of both electrons along the polarization axis as well as clear imprints of electron repulsion. They strongly change with the energy sharing between the electrons. The aspect of selection rules in double ionization which are also visible in the presented dataset has been subject to a preceding publication [1].

High-resolution photoelectron momentum distributions of Xe atoms ionized by 800-nm linearly polarized laser fields have been traced at intensities from 1.1*1013 to 3.5*1013W/cm2 using velocity-map imaging techniques. At certain laser intensities, the momentum spectrum exhibits a distinct double-ring structure for low-order above-threshold ionization, which appears to be absent at lower or higher laser intensities. By investigating the intensity-resolved photoelectron energy spectrum, we find that this double-ring structure originates from resonant multiphoton ionization involving multiple Rydberg states of atoms. Varying the laser intensity, we can selectively enhance the resonant multiphoton ionization through certain atomic Rydberg states. The photoelectron angular distributions of multiphoton resonance are also investigated for the low-order above-threshold ionization.
We address the concept of direct multiphoton multiple ionization in atoms exposed to intense, short wavelength radiation and explore the conditions under which such processes dominate over the sequential. Their contribution is shown to be quite robus t, even under intensity fluctuations and interaction volume integration, and reasonable agreement with experimental data is also found.
The relativistic theory of above-threshold ionization (ATI) of hydrogen-like atoms in ultrastrong radiation fields, taking into account the photoelectron induced rescattering in the continuum spectrum is developed. It is shown that the contribution o f the latter in the multiphoton ionization probability even in the Born approximation by Coulomb field is of the order of ATI probability in the scope of Keldysh-Faisal-Reiss ansatz.
