Relativistic resonances in combined magnetic and laser fields

We propose a mechanism for experimental investigation of relativistic effects in the laser-atom interaction with moderate (nonrelativistic) laser intensities that involves placing the system in a static magnetic field parallel to the laser's magnetic-field component. The resonantly induced relativistic motion of the atomic electron leads to a variety of novel phenomena: a relativistic dephasing leading to a ringlike spatial probability density, a counterintuitive window of relativistically enhanced motion, and a sequence of sawtooth-shaped resonances that may increase the harmonic generation.

Numerical solution of the time-dependent Maxwell's equations for random dielectric media

We discuss how a spectral-domain method in combination with a split-operator technique can be used to calculate exact solutions of the time-dependent Maxwell's equations. We apply this technique to study the tunneling signal of an evanescent wave occurring due to frustrated total internal reflection and the propagation of a light pulse through an inhomogeneous medium consisting of multiple random scatterers.
