Photoionization spectra by intense linear, circular, and elliptic polarized lasers

We study the characteristics of ionization rates of an atom by an intense laser field using an extension of Keldysh theory. High-order semianalytical expressions are obtained for linear, circular, and elliptically polarized fields. We compare the features of the new rates with Keldysh analytical res...
