摘要：
We present a simple and easy-to-implement Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-accelerated routine to numerically simulate the propagation of ultrashort and intense laser pulses as they interact with a medium. The routine is based on the solution of Maxwell's wave equation in the frequency domain with an extended Crank-Nicolson algorithm implemented in the Nvidia CUDA C++ programming language. The main advantages of our method are its significant speed-up factor and its ease of implementation, requiring only basic knowledge of CUDA and C++. In this article, we review the strong-field wave equations to be solved and their discretization and demonstrate how to implement a numerical solver for them on an Nvidia GPU. We show the results of the simulation of a near-infrared laser pulse propagating through a partially ionized atomic gas and discuss the performance of our GPU-accelerated scheme. Compared to a na & iuml;ve central processing unit implementation of the same routine, our GPU-accelerated version is up to 198 times faster in standard regimes.
