Optical Tunneling of an Electron from an Atom can occur Instantaneously

Ionization times (left axis) reconstructed using the ARM theory from offset angles (right axis) obtained numerically using TDSE calculations. Red circles are the numerically calculated offset angles, divided by the laser frequency, ?/?. Blue diamonds show the offset angles with the correction due to the substraction of the pulse envelope effect, ti0 = ?/?-|?tienv (?,ppeak)| . Green inverted triangles show the Coulomb correction to the ionization time evaluated at the peak of the photoelectron distribution, |?tiC (?,ppeak|. Orange triangles show the ionization times we obtain by applying the reconstruction procedure defined by equation (4) in the paper. In terms of the figure, this is simply the result of subtracting the green curve from the blue curve. Credit: (c) MBI
