Species-dependent tunneling ionization of weakly bound atoms in the short-wave infrared regime

We investigate the intensity- and species-dependent strong-field ionization of alkali metal atoms; sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium; by intense, few-cycle laser pulses in the short-wave infrared (sw-IR) regime at 1800 nm. The low ionization potential, I _p , of these atoms allows us to scale...
