Abstract

We have developed a procedure for solving the three-dimensional, time-dependent Schrödinger equation by expanding the total system wave function in a Volkov basis and by propagating the resulting first-order differential equations in time. We discuss applications to several model systems representing an atom in an intense, oscillating electric field.
