Abstract

We verify the theory of nonadiabatic ionization of degenerate valence p± orbitals in strong circularly polarized laser fields by numerically solving the two-dimensional time-dependent Schrdinger equation for an effective one-electron potential of neon. The numerically calculated ionization ratios of the p- and p+ orbitals agree well with the theoretical results (i.e., the counterrotating electron tunnels more easily). However, for strong laser pulses and low laser frequencies, the adiabatic laser-dressed orbitals play an important role. In a Floquet treatment of a three-level model, we find that in this regime the ionization ratio of initial p- and p+ orbitals depends strongly on the orbital energy order of valence s and p± orbitals. We also show that the emission angles of valence p-and p+ electrons are different and should be observable in attoclock experiments.
