New Effects in Multiphoton Atomic and Molecular Processes (Physics)

对激光与束缚在原子中的电子的相互作用进行了理论研究。相互作用的结果是激发一个或多个电子，也许还会产生波长不同于初级激光的辐射。将开发数学和计算方法来解释强激光辐射与电子的强烈耦合及其对原子结构细节的依赖。预测将被用来解释正在进行的实验，并为进一步的实验设计提供指导。

Theoretical investigations are performed for the interaction of lasers with electrons bound in atoms. The outcome of the interactions is the excitation of one or more electrons, perhaps also the generation of radiation of wave lengths different from those of the primary laser. Mathematical and computational methods will be developed to account for the strong coupling of the strong laser radiation with the electrons and its dependence on the details of the atomic structure. Predictions will be employed in interpretation of ongoing experiments and to provide a guide for design of further experiments.
