    Theory of Self-Phase Modulation and Spectral Broadening

    Self-phase modulation refers to the phenomenon in which a laser beam propagating in a medium interacts with the medium and imposes a phase modulation on itself. It is one of those very fascinating effects disc...

    Molecular-Beam Studies of Laser-Induced Multiphoton Dissociation

    We review the evidence from molecular-beam experiments establishing that laser-induced multiphoton dissociation is a collisionless unimolecular process. We interpret the experimental results using a model in w...
