Abstract
We consider by numerically integrating the time-dependent Schrodinger equat ion the scattering of electrons by a one-dimensional potential well in the presence of a bichromatic laser field of frequencies omega and 2 omega or o mega and 3 omega and we investigate the transmitted and reflected scatterin g probabilities as a function of the relative phase phi between the two rad iation field components. We also compare the results of this analysis with the probabilities obtained in earlier work in which the scattering problem was treated analytically, receiving in this way a deeper insight into this process.
