W. Ebeling et al., Nonlinear effects and energy flows in the semiclassical dynamics of atomicelectrons in strong laser fields, LASER PHYS, 10(5), 2000, pp. 1069-1077
The motion of one atomic electron in the field of a positive charged nucleu
s and under the action of a strong laser field is investigated by semiclass
ical methods. Our main interest is a systematic study of the energy transfe
r from the laser field to the atomic electrons. Two simple models of the io
nization of hydrogenlike atoms in the presence of strong laser fields are s
tudied in detail focusing on the influence of nonlinearity on the electron
dynamics.
