Summary

In recent years, intense laser fields have become available, over a wide frequency range, in the form of short pulses. Such laser fields are strong enough to compete with the Coulomb forces in controlling the dynamics of atomic systems. As a result, atoms in intense laser fields exhibit new properties that have been discovered via the study of multiphoton processes. After some introductory remarks in Section 1.1, we discuss in Section 1.2 how intense laser fields can be obtained by using the “chirped pulse amplification” method. In the remaining sections of this chapter, we give a survey of the new phenomena discovered by studying three important multiphoton processes in atoms: multiphoton ionization, harmonic generation and laser-assisted electron–atom collisions.

Introduction

If radiation fields of sufficient intensity interact with atoms, processes of higher order than the single-photon absorption or emission play a significant role. These higher-order processes, called multiphoton processes, correspond to the net absorption or emission of more than one photon in an atomic transition. It is interesting to note that, in the first paper he published in Annalen der Physik in the year 1905, his “Annus mirabilis,” Einstein [1] not only introduced the concept of “energy quantum of light” – named “photon” by Lewis [2] in 1926 – but also mentioned the possibility of multiphoton processes occurring when the intensity of the radiation is high enough, namely “if the number of energy quanta per unit volume simultaneously being transformed is so large that an energy quantum of emitted light can obtain its energy from several incident energy quanta.”
