Abstract

In earlier work, we suggested using a curved waveguide as a quantum simulator to simulate the tunnel ionization process. Here we implemented for the first time such a simulator and tested our results against the Keldysh and bending loss ionization rates. We observed also straight rays which are reminiscent of above-threshold-ionization (ATI) electrons.
