Accurate and efficient grid based techniques for the solution of the
time-dependent Schrödinger equation for few-electron diatomic molecules
irradiated by intense, ultrashort laser pulses are described. These are based
on hybrid finite-difference, Lagrange mesh techniques. The methods are applied
in three scenarios, namely H
with fixed internuclear separation,
H with vibrating nuclei and H2 with fixed internuclear separation and
illustrative results presented.
