Description

A semiclassical theory of hyper-Raman scattering and three-photon resonant ionization via the coupled density-matrix and Maxwell equations is presented. A simplified three-level atom model is obtained, which includes two-photon resonant pumping and time dependent photoionization rates. We consider conditions typically encountered in atomic vapours to simulate numerically pulse propagation. A strong depletion of the photoionization probability in the hyper-Raman field saturation regime is predicted. (author). 17 refs, 8 figs
