Abstract

A numerical method for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a one-electron atomic system in an intense, short-pulsed laser field is presented. An effective potential formalism is proposed and tested for representing the excitation of the valence electrons in rare gases. Results for ion production yields, photoelectron distributions and harmonic conversion are presented and compared to recent experimental results.
