This textbook extends from the basics of femtosecond physics all the way to some of the latest developments in the field. In this updated edition, the chapter on laserdriven atoms is augmented by the discussion of twoelectron atoms interacting with strong and short laser pulses, as well as by a review of ATI rings and low energy structures in photoelectron spectra. In the chapter on laserdriven molecules a discussion of 2D infrared spectroscopy is incorporated. Theoretical investigations of atoms and molecules interacting with pulsed lasers up to atomic field strengths on the order of 10^16 W/cm are leading to an understanding of many challenging experimental discoveries. The presentation starts with a brief introduction to pulsed laser physics. The basis for the nonperturbative treatment of lasermatter interaction in the book is the timedependent Schrdinger equation. Its analytical as well as numerical solution are laid out in some detail. The light field is treated classically and different possible gauges for the fieldmatter interaction are discussed. Physical phenomena, ranging from paradigmatic Rabioscillations in twolevel systems to the ionization of atoms, the generation of highorder harmonics, the ionization and dissociation of molecules, as well as the control of chemical reactions are presented and discussed on a fundamental level. In this way, the theoretical background for state of the art experiments with strong and short laser pulses is given.The new text is augmented by several additional exercises and now contains a total of fortyeight problems, whose workedout solutions are given in the last chapter. In addition, some detailed calculations are performed in the appendices. Furthermore, each chapter ends with references to more specialized literature.
