From a semiclassical point of view, we discuss the problem of nonlinear interaction between electromagnetic radiation and atoms. The time‐dependent Schrodinger equation for single electron systems is solved using perturbative technique to obtain transition probability. We also discuss higher order perturbation used in multiple processes where two or more quanta are emitted instead of a single photon. The approach is based on the assumption that the perturbation is small. From the transition probability ionization rate and absorption, the cross‐section of hydrogen atoms is calculated. Variation in photon energy and field strength is analyzed. Variation of cross‐section with photon energy is discussed.
