Abstract

The process of formation of doubly charged ions upon multiphoton ionization of barium atoms by linearly and circularly polarized radiation of dye lasers is studied in the frequency range from 16 800 to 18 700 cm-1. A large number of resonance maxima in the yield of Ba+ and Ba2+ ions were observed upon tuning the radiation frequency. It is unambiguously proved that most resonance maxima in the yield of Ba2+ ions are associated with the resonance transitions in the spectrum of Ba+ ions. This fact confirms the cascade mechanism of formation of Ba2+ ions in the frequency range of localization of these maxima. Keywords: multiphoton ionization, two-charged ions, cascade mechanism, barium atom, resonant process.
