Atoms in intense laser fields / C.J. Joachain, N.J. Kylstra, and R.M. Potvliege.

Call Number	539.7/2
Author	Joachain, C. J. author.
Title	Atoms in intense laser fields / C.J. Joachain, N.J. Kylstra, and R.M. Potvliege.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xii, 568 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	Part I. Basic Concepts: 1. High-intensity laser-atom physics; 2. Theory of laser-atom interactions -- Part II. Theoretical Methods: 3. Perturbation theory; 4. Floquet theory; 5. Numerical integration of the wave equations; 6. The low-frequency regime; 7. The high-frequency regime -- Part III. Multiphoton Atomic Physics: 8. Multiphoton ionization; 9. Harmonic generation and attosecond pulses; 10. Laser-assisted electron-atom collisions.
Summary	The development of lasers capable of producing high-intensity pulses has opened a new area in the study of light-matter interactions. The corresponding laser fields are strong enough to compete with the Coulomb forces in controlling the dynamics of atomic systems and give rise to multiphoton processes. This book presents a unified account of this rapidly developing field of physics. The first part describes the fundamental phenomena occurring in intense laser-atom interactions and gives the basic theoretical framework to analyze them. The second part contains a detailed discussion of Floquet theory, the numerical integration of the wave equations and approximation methods for the low- and high-frequency regimes. In the third part, the main multiphoton processes are discussed: multiphoton ionization, high harmonic and attosecond pulse generation, and laser-assisted electron-atom collisions. Aimed at graduate students in atomic, molecular and optical physics, the book will also interest researchers working on laser interactions with matter.
Added Author	Kylstra, N. J., author. Potvliege, R. M., author.
Subject	Electron-atom Collisions. Floquet theory. LASER PULSES, ULTRASHORT. MULTIPHOTON PROCESSES. Multiphoton ionization.
