Abstract

We study strong-field ionization by quantum lights with emphasis on high-order above-threshold ionization and the intensity-dependent enhancements in the photoelectron spectra. We find that the length of the plateau in the photoelectron energy spectrum generated by such quantum lights can be extended by an order of magnitude in comparison with that generated by the classical coherent laser light and that within this plateau resonantly enhanced groups of sharp peaks appear at energies which are integer multiple of the photon energy. We relate the observed intensity-dependent enhancements to the channel closing effect. Our results are particularly interesting in the context of the recent interplay and merging of quantum optics with strong-field physics and attoscience.

  95. The cutoff formula for the BSV light, 20Ip[Up0/(3ω)]2/3, proposed in [72], for our parameters gives the cutoff energy 85.3Up0, which is very close to our result 86.4Up0. However, for our example, presented in Fig. 4, this formula gives 103.4Up0, which is different from our result 86.6Up0 and the results in which the saturation effects are calculated numerically (see the red curve in Fig. 4).
  96. This cutoff is sharp since we cut the integral over the quantum field strength Eα0 at a fixed value determined by Isat. (The survival probability is suddenly set to zero for I>Isat. On the other hand, for the red line in Fig. 4, the results are obtained using a different method, which takes into account the atom survival probability for I>Isat and leads to a smooth decrease of the rate.)
