InhaltThe course is a theoretical introduction to strong field laser
ionization of atoms and molecules. Particular focus will be on tunnel
ionization which is behind many recent experiments and applications,
both in chemistry and physics. Common approaches to analyzing
ionization events will be presented, including Keldysh, Strong-Field
and others. The aim is to both understand ionization from a
theoretical perspective and to put into context recent experimental
results. With this in mind, important phenomena created by strong
field ionization, such as high harmonic generation (HHG) and Rydberg
state creation will be explained. Among the fundamental physics
questions addressed will be the much debated question of tunneling
time in ionization, defining tunneling time and relating it to recent
experimental measurement and theoretical literature.
