Abstract
We study a theoretical model of photoionization. An initially occupied ground electronic state is ionized to a flat continuum by two-photon excitation. There are two near-resonant intermediate excitation states. The line-narrowing confluence effect and population trapping are studied. We show that we cannot define an effective Hamiltonian to relate our model to the Fano model. In connection with recent studies of laser-induced autoionization (LIA), we show several differences between our model and LIA. For example, we show that the zero in the absorption spectrum and in the photoelectron spectrum has different features compared with that in the Fano model [ Phys. Rev.124, 1866 ( 1961)]. We also show that a laser-power-independent confluence condition and a complete population-trapping condition can be found in our model.
