2. Recall that in this model, the photoelectron enters the continuum at some detachment time td, e.g., by tunneling through the effective potential barrier formed by the instantaneous electric field of the laser. Once in the continuum, the electron follows a classical trajectory under the acceleration imparted by the field.

38. It is convenient to integrate by parts over time, so as to express the integral in terms of the Fourier transform of I(r) Φ0 (r,t) with respect to the momentum π. Contributions from the end points ti and tf arise both from the integration by parts and from the asymptotic expansion involved in the saddle-point integration. However, it can be shown that their sum is negligibly small if F(t) vanishes sufficienty smoothly at ti and tf. In this case, the ionization probability does not depend on the detail of the variation of the vector potential at the very beginning and the very end of the pulse, in agreement with one's intuition.

46. The ab initio calculations follow the method described by E. Huens, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.55.2132 55, 2132 (1997).
47. We could not verify whether the agreement persists at energies higher than 20 eV due to difficulties in obtaining reliable ab initio results.
