Abstract

In this paper, we study theoretically, the coherent phase control of (2+1) resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization photoelectron spectra in cesium atom system by shaping the femtosecond pulse with π phase step modulation under weak laser field. Our results show that the photoelectron spectra can be greatly narrowed and the photoelectron intensity can be enhanced after π phase step modulation by precisely setting the phase step position. Also, we show that the high-resolution photoelectron spectra and the fine energy-level diagram of the two closed excited states can be obtained.
