摘要: The above-threshold ionization of argon in an intense 70-fs, 400-nm linearly polarized laser pulse has been investigated by the velocity map imaging techniques, combined with an attosecond-resolution quantum wave packet dynamics method. There is a quantitative agreement in all dominant features between the experiment and the theory. Moreover, a peak-splitting phenomenon in the first energy peak has been observed at high pulse intensity. Further, through the theoretical analysis, an ac Stark splitting with evident resonant and nonresonant ionization pathways has been found to be the physical reason for the experimental observations.
