摘要
We investigate the ratio of double to single ionization of He in an intense laser field based on the rescattering model. Folding the rescattering energy spectra with the electron impact inelastic cross sections, we obtain the probability of double ionization due to the nonsequential ionization process. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the experiment [Walker et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1227 (1994)]. Furthermore, we investigate the physical insights of the nonsequential double ionization by analyzing the rescattering energy spectra at different intensities and the contributions from individual returns. This study confirms the reliability of the rescattering energy spectra obtained from ab initio calculations. The rescattering information can be used to analyze many other dynamical processes in intense laser-matter interactions, such as molecular imaging.
