Abstract
The study of atomic systems interacting with intense laser fields has attracted considerable interest in recent years1. In particular, the availability of increasingly powerful lasers has made possible the observation of multiphoton phenomena such as multiphoton ionization, harmonic generation and laser-assisted electron-atom collisions. Most of the early theoretical treatments of multiphoton processes relied on the use of perturbation theory. However, for higher laser intensities, non perturbative approaches are required.
