Author Description

Among others, chemistry, physics, biology, and material sciences have seen a rapid growth in both experimental and theoretical studies of multiphoton processes and spectroscopy of atoms, ions and molecules. This book is an important addition to an advanced series that contains review papers readable not only by active researchers in these areas, but also by those who are intending to enter the field. Written by experts in the area, the reviews are self-contained to allow readers to grasp the key concepts without much preparation. This volume will be useful to active researchers as well as to scientists in biology, chemistry, material sciences, and physics. Contents: Probing Orbital Symmetries and Ionization Dynamics of Simple Molecules with Femtosecond Lasers; Generalization and Application to Molecular System of Keldish's Atomic Photoionization Theory; Ionization and Fragmentation of Some Organic Molecules with Intense Femtosecond Laser Pulses. Key Features Written in a self-contained manner to help readers grasp the essential knowledge without much preparation Provides a sound introduction for non-experts who intend to enter the field of multi-photon processes and spectroscopy Readership: Postgraduate students and researchers in probability theory.
