The recent developement of high power lasers, delivering femtosecond pulses of 20 2 intensities up to 10 W/cm , has led to the discovery of new phenomena in las

A unified account of the rapidly developing field of high-intensity laser-atom interactions, suitable for both graduate students and researchers.

Multiphoton ionization of atoms in intense laser-light fields is gaining ground as a spectroscopic diagnostic tool. In this volume, Delone and Krainov present t

Atoms in strong radiation fields are interesting objects for study, and the research field that concerns itself with this study is a comparatively young one. Fo
