Although the concept of super-intense field has no absolute meaning, it is now usual to call an electromagnetic field super-intense when it exceeds the atomic binding field. In the case of the simplest atomic system, hydrogen in its 16 2 ground state, this occurs above an intensity of 3. 5 x 10 Wattfcm which is the atomic unit of intensity. Presently at the laboratory scale and in ex- tremely short and tightly focussed laser pulses, the electric field strength 16 18 2 reaches peak values which are of the order of 10 - 10 Wattfcm in the infrared frequency regime, the prospect being that such peak intensities may be reached within a few years in a regime of much higher frequencies (XUV or even X). The interaction of such electromagnetic fields with an atomic system has a highly non-linear character which has led to the observation of to- tally unexpected phenomena. There are three fundamental processes which have marked the beginning of an intensive research in the field of super- intense laser-atom physics (SILAP). These processes which only involve one atomic electron are (i) the so-called above-threshold ionisation i. e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614379917463,"sku":"9780792368649","price":16498.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780792368649.webp?v=1775093165","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/super-intense-laser-atom-physics-9780792368649","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
