Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 2353–2356 (1992)Asymmetric photoelectron angular distributions from interfering photoionization processesReceived 14 May 1992; published in the issue dated 19 October 1992 We have measured asymmetric photoelectron angular distributions for atomic rubidium. Ionization is induced by a one-photon interaction with 280 nm light and by a two-photon interaction with 560 nm light. Interference between the even- and odd-parity free-electron wave functions allows us to control the direction of maximum electron flux by varying the relative phase of the two laser fields. © 1992 The American Physical Society URL:
