Abstract

When an atom or a small molecule in the gas phase is exposed to an intense laser field, a complex response is generally induced. In the present context, “intense” signifies a peak-field intensity in the range between 1014 and 1016 W/cm2, assuming a wavelength of typically 800 nm. Such a laser pulse triggers a violent rearrangement of valence electrons in the atom or molecule.
