Abstract

Numerical results obtained applying the strong-field approximation to atomic and molecular processes in intense laser fields are presented. In particular, the forward-backward asymmetry in high-order above-threshold ionization (HATI) of Ar atoms by a few-cycle laser pulse is considered. It is shown that the resonantlike enhancements observed in the focal-averaged spectra disappear with the decreasing laser pulse duration. For HATI and high-order harmonic generation (HHG) by molecular systems, we present new results for diatomic molecules. The choice of gauge and the problem of dressing of the initial bound state are discussed. The appearance of the interference minima in molecular HATI and HHG spectra and their role in the characterization of the molecular structure are considered using the example of the Ar2 molecule.
