Phys. Rev. A 72, 043820 (2005) [6 pages]Effect of time-dependent ionization on the propagation of a few-cycle laser pulse in a two-level mediumSee Also: Publisher's Note Received 11 July 2005; published 26 October 2005; publisher error corrected 2 November 2005 We investigate the influence of ionization on the propagation and spectral effects of a few-cycle ultrashort laser pulse in a two-level medium. It is found that when the fractional ionization is weak, the production of higher spectral components makes no difference. However, when the two states are essentially depleted before the peak of the laser pulse, the impact of ionization on the higher spectral components is very significant. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
