Strong-field above-threshold photoemission from sharp metal tips
Abstract
We present energy-resolved measurements of electron emission from sharp metal tips driven with low energy pulses from a few-cycle laser oscillator. We observe above-threshold photoemission with a photon order of up to 9. At a laser intensity of 2*1011 W/cm2 suppression of the lowest order peak occurs, indicating the onset of strong-field effects. We also observe peak shifting linearly with intensity with a slope of around -1.8eV / (1012 W/cm2). We attribute the magnitude of the laser field effects to field enhancement taking place at the tip's surface.
