Multiphoton Detachment of Negative Ions

Abstract

A theory is presented to describe multiphoton detachment of negative ions by intense laser beams. The detachment rate is expressed in terms of the single-photon detachment rate. Numerical results are presented for detachment of electrons from O(-) and O2(-). Critical comments are given concerning some theories of multiphoton ionization.
