Notes:
Combinations of circularly polarized intense laser pulses (I≥1014 W/cm2) and intense magnetic fields (B≃107 gauss) are shown to lead to control of electron orbits in atoms and molecules. In particular, it is proposed to use such intense field experiments to produce high-order harmonic generation into the ultraviolet and X-ray regions.   © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
