Momentum Space Iterative Solution of the Time-Dependent Schrodinger Equation

We present a novel approach, the iterative solution of the time-dependent Schrdinger equation (iTDSE model), for the investigation of atomic systems interacting with external laser fields. This model is the extension of the momentum-space strong-field approximation (MSSFA) [1], in which the Coulomb potential was considered only as a first order perturbation. In the iTDSE approach higher order terms were gradually introduced until convergence was achieved. Benchmark calculations were done on the hydrogen atom, and the obtained results were compared to the direct numerical solution [2].
