Abstract

For pt.I see ibid., vol.28, p.5057-75 (1995). In the previous paper, a non-perturbative time-dependent theory of resonant multiphoton ionization by both smooth and rectangular pulses was derived, and as a first step, applied to the two-photon ionization of caesium in weak fields. In the present paper, we continue the analysis of the same system, extending the weak-field results and considering the case of stronger fields. At higher intensities the spectra exhibit energy modulations of a different character from those predicted for low power. Here, for stronger fields, the structure arises from Rabi oscillations, which, for the smooth pulses assumed here, are triggered by time-dependent Stark shifts. In order to obtain a better understanding of the energy oscillations, we also look at the photoelectron energy spectrum produced by a rectangular pulse, a problem which is solved exactly. We show that there are other sources of strong-field structure.
