Revisiting photon-statistics effects on multiphoton ionization. II

Abstract

In this paper, we extend the results of an earlier paper in which we had demonstrated the limitations of the notion of non-resonant multiphoton ionization, in the exploration of photon statistics effects in non-linear processes. Through the quantitative analysis of specific realistic processes, we provide the connection to conditions of intensity and pulse duration necessary in relevant experiments, including a recent seminal experiment demonstrating the effect of superbunching found in squeezed radiation.
