Plasma perspective on strong field multiphoton ionization.
TL;DR: During strong-field multiphoton ionization, a wave packet is formed each time the laser field passes its maximum value, and one important parameter which determines the strength of these effects is the rate at which the wave packet spreads in the direction perpendicular to the laser electric field.

Theory of high-harmonic generation by low-frequency laser fields.
TL;DR: A simple, analytic, and fully quantum theory of high-harmonic generation by low-frequency laser fields is presented and the exact quantum-mechanical formula for the harmonic cutoff that differs from the phenomenological law Ip+3.17Up is presented.

Carrier-envelope phase control of femtosecond mode-locked lasers and direct optical frequency synthesis
David J. Jones,Scott A. Diddams,Jinendra Kumar Ranka,Andrew John Stentz,Robert S. Windeler,John L. Hall,Steven T. Cundiff +6 more
TL;DR: The carrier-envelope phase of the pulses emitted by a femtosecond mode-locked laser is stabilized by using the powerful tools of frequency-domain laser stabilization to perform absolute optical frequency measurements that were directly referenced to a stable microwave clock.
