Av. Lugovskoy et al., ANGULAR-DISTRIBUTION OF PHOTOELECTRONS EMITTED AT PULSE LASER IRRADIATION, Journal of the Optical Society of America. B, Optical physics, 15(1), 1998, pp. 53-63
The analysis of electron-distribution formation in a metal irradiated
with a laser pulse is given on the basis of the explicit solution of t
he quantum kinetic equation. The angular distributions of electrons em
itted under laser irradiation of a metal surface are associated with t
he non-Fermi electron distribution generated by the laser action. The
anisotropy of photon absorption in an electron-phonon collision causes
a two-leafed distribution structure, which qualitatively distinguishe
s this mechanism of laser-stimulated electron emission. (C) 1998 Optic
