Description for Theoretical Femtosecond Physics
Paperback. This volume offers theoretical investigations of atoms and molecules interacting with pulsed or continuous wave lasers. Theoretical background is included, and the text incorporates several exercises. Additional calculations are performed in the appendices. Series: Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics. Num Pages: 229 pages, 7 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: TTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 361.
The development of modern pulsed lasers with power densities larger than 16 ?2 10 Wcm and with very short pulse duration in the femtosecond regime enables experimentalists to study elementary processes such as chemical - actions and excitation mechanisms in di?erent areas in physics in the time domain. In parallel to the experimental investigations, analytical and num- ical studies of laser-driven atoms and molecules with a limited number of degrees of freedom are performed. These theoretical investigations have led to the prediction and/or the explanation of a large variety of partly count- intuitivephenomena.

Reviews for Theoretical Femtosecond Physics
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 ...
