Title Theoretical Femtosecond Physics : Atoms and Molecules in Strong Laser Fields Author(s) Gro??mann, Frank Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2013. Description XV, 254 p : online resource Abstract Note Theoretical investigations of atoms and molecules interacting with pulsed or continuous wave lasers up to atomic field strengths on the order of 10^16 W/cm?? are leading to an understanding of many challenging experimental discoveries.??This book deals with the basics of femtosecond physics and goes up to the latest applications of new phenomena. The book presents an introduction to laser physics with mode-locking and pulsed laser operation. The solution of the time-dependent Schr??dinger equation is discussed both analytically and numerically.??The basis for the non-perturbative treatment of laser-matter interaction in the book is the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schr??dinger equation. The light field is treated classically, and different possible gauges are discussed. Physical phenonema, ranging from Rabi-oscillations in two-level systems to the ionization of atoms, the generation of high harmonics, the ionization and dissociation of molecules as well as the control of chemical reactions are presented and discussed on a fundamental level. In this way the theoretical background for state of the art experiments with strong and short laser pulses is given. The text is augmented by more than thirty exercises, whose worked-out solutions are given in the last chapter. Some detailed calculations are performed in the appendices. Furthermore, each chapter ends with references to more specialized literature ISBN,Price 9783319006062 Keyword(s) 1. ATOMS 2. Atoms and Molecules in Strong Fields, Laser Matter Interaction 3.
