Abstract
SynopsisPhotoionization microscopy (PM) is employed for imaging the flux of slow (meV) electrons ejected via atomic photoionization in the presence of a static electric field. Just above the ionization limit continuum and quasi-disrete states are degenerate. In hydrogen atom resonant excitation dominates over the continuum one, while the reverse holds for more complex atoms. We demonstrate theoretically that by using a bichromatic ω/2ω laser field and by applying phase sensitive coherent control techniques it is possible to unbury and isolate other-wise obscured resonant features in PM images.
