Abstract
We report the observation of a laser-induced charge-transfer collision. In the presence of an intense laser beam, ground-state calcium ions collide with ground-state strontium atoms, selectively producing excited strontium ions and calcium neutrals. The laser-induced collision cross section has a linewidth of about 50 and peaks ∼ 70 from that wavelength which satisfies the energy defect of the separated atoms.
