Multiphoton ionization of atoms in intense laser-light
fields is gaining ground as a spectroscopic diagnostic tool.
In this volume, Delone and Krainov present their and
others' theoretical description of the process occurring in
atoms under conditions of multi-photon impacts, in
particular, the shift, broadening, and mixing of electronic
states which complicate the interpretation of spectra.
The topics of individual chapters include tunneling
ionization, above-threshold ionization, ionization of
multiply charged ions, resonance-enhenced ionization,
super-intense radiation fields, and properties of Rydberg
states in strong fields.
Multiphoton ionization of atoms in intense laser-light fields is gaining ground as a spectroscopic diagnostic tool. In this volume, Delone and Krainov present their own and other theoretical descriptions of the processes occcurring in atoms under conditions of multiple-photon impacts, in particular, the shift, broadening, and mixing of electronic states which complicate the interpretation of spectra. The intended audience includes experimental physicists and physical chemists facing the task of un ravelling an atomic multiphoton ionization spectrum. Comparisons of the theory with available experimental data are provided throughout.
