Photoelectron spectra induced by broad-band chaotic light

  • Published:

Abstract

We consider a model for laser-induced autoionisation in which the laser light is treated as a chaotic white noise. We solve a set of coupled stochastic integro-differential equations, which are based on the Fano model for autoionisation. For the case of symmetric Fano profile we determine the exact photoelectron spectrum and compare it with the results of previous models including different (diagonal and off-diagonal) relaxation mechanisms, and also spontaneous emission. It is interesting to note that equations of our model are of great similarity to those in the model with radiation damping.
