Theoretical femtosecond physics is a new field of research. Theoretical investigations of atoms and molecules interacting with pulsed or continuous wave lasers of up to atomic field strengths are leading to an understanding of many challenging experimental discoveries. Laser-matter interaction is treated on a nonperturbative level in the book using approximate and numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The light field is treated classically. Physical phenomena, ranging from ionization of atoms to the ionization and dissociation of molecules and the control of chemical…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Theoretical femtosecond physics is a new field of research. Theoretical investigations of atoms and molecules interacting with pulsed or continuous wave lasers of up to atomic field strengths are leading to an understanding of many challenging experimental discoveries. Laser-matter interaction is treated on a nonperturbative level in the book using approximate and numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The light field is treated classically. Physical phenomena, ranging from ionization of atoms to the ionization and dissociation of molecules and the control of chemical reactions are presented and discussed. Theoretical background for experiments with strong and short laser pulses is given. Several exercises are included in the main text. Some detailed calculations are performed in the appendices.

Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"It deals with the basics of femtosecond physics and goes ... with new phenomena and applications. ... the book presents an introduction to laser physics with mode-locking and pulsed laser operation. ... the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is discussed both analytically and numerically. ... In conclusion, it is a strong book in which the table of contents for this modern research field has been selected very carefully and the topics are treated adequately." (Wim Joosen, Belgian Physical Society Magazine, Issue 2, June, 2009)

"Theoretical Femtosecond Physics: Atoms and Molecules in Strong Laser Fields fills an important need for a thorough introduction of the theory behind the high-field laser physics phenomena on which this emerging research field is based. ... I highly recommend Grossmann's book to anyone interested in entering this rapidly developing field." (Franz X. Kärtner, Physics Today, November, 2009)
Aus den Rezensionen: "... Die ... Monografie ... richtet sich ... an Studierende in höheren Semestern, ... auch erfahrene Wissenschaftler werden aus diesem Buch großen Nutzen ziehen. ... Sehr gut gefallen haben mir ... die Darstellung der Erzeugung von höheren Harmonischen von Licht und die kohärente Kontrolle von molekularer Dynamik. In diesem Bereich gelingt es dem Autor in hervorragender Weise, in den momentanen Stand der Wissenschaft einzuführen. Detaillierte Anhänge erlauben ein tieferes Verständnis. Sehr hilfreich sind ... die ... Literaturangaben ... Das Buch ist von einem Experten verfasst ... Ich kann es ... wärmstens empfehlen." (Wolfgang P. Schleich, in: Physik Journal, 06/2009, Vol. 8, Issue 6, S. 53)
