Multiphoton ionization of atoms in intense laser-light
fields is gaining ground as a spectroscopic diagnostic tool.
In this volume, Delone and Krainov present their and
others' theoretical description of the process occurring in
atoms under conditions of multi-photon impacts, in
particular, the shift, broadening, and mixing of electronic
states which complicate the interpretation of spectra.
The topics of individual chapters include tunneling
ionization, above-threshold ionization, ionization of
multiply charged ions, resonance-enhenced ionization,
super-intense radiation fields, and properties of Rydberg
states in strong fields.
