摘要
Relativistic features of various nonperturbative above-threshold phenomena in strong laser fields are discussed and compared. This includes above-threshold ionization of multiply charged ions as well as pair production in an ultrastrong laser wave, superimposed with either a nuclear Coulomb field or another counterpropagating laser wave. For the probability of above-threshold pair production, a new scaling relation is given. Particular attention is paid to similarities among these processes, regarding the energy and angular spectra of the particles as well as the total reaction rates.
