Resonant interaction between intense electromagnetic waves during ionization of an atom

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Resonant interaction through the continuum between two intense electromagnetic waves of different frequencies during ionization of an atom is considered. A general solution of the problem is found by using a procedure based on the application of the Laplace transform to the equations for the time-dependent amplitudes of the probability. When one of the EM waves is considerably weaker than the other, the dynamics of the absorption of light by an atom are investigated, and a final value for the ionization probability in the “illumination” region is found.
