Mittleman M. Introduction to the Theory of Laser-Atom Interactions 2ed 1993

Textbook in PDF format

In response to the explosion of theories and experiments since the appearance of the first edition, the author has revised and expanded his basic text. New sections include up-to-date discussions of multiphoton ionization, and electron-atom and atom-atom scattering in laser fields, reaffirming the work's position as the standard introduction to the field.
