摘要

We present a semi-analytical model for free electron production induced by multiphoton ionization in dielectric materials for short laser pulses at moderate intensities. Within this approach, the laser-induced absorption is described through the Bloch-Volkov formalism, and the electronic structure of materials is evaluated through first-principles calculations. Results obtained for NaCl and KDP (KH2PO4) materials show that significant deviations from the parabolic band approximation may occur. When the laser intensity increases, high multiphotonic orders may become the predominant mechanisms outside the centre of the Brillouin zone.
