description

Numerical calculations of photodetachment of ${\mathrm{F}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ irradiated by a linearly polarized strong short infrared pulse have been performed by evaluating the photoelectron ejection probability in the framework of a Keldysh-type approach modified to account for the temporal behavior of the pulse. The results of the calculations are in good agreement with measurements of energy spectra recently appearing in literature, and show features that may be explained in terms of quantum interferences in time domain.
