Multiphoton ionization through the triplet states of Mg by linearly and circularly polarized laser pulses

We theoretically study multiphoton ionization through the triplet states of Mg by linearly polarized and circularly polarized fs laser pulses. After the construction of the atomic basis using the frozen-core Hartree-Fock potential as well as the model potential approaches for both singlet and triplet series which show rather good agreements with the existing data in terms of state energies and dipole matrix elements, we solve time-dependent Schrodinger equations with 3s3p P-3(1) as an initial state, and calculate the total ionization yield and photoelectron energy spectra.
