Highlights
We presented a method to optimally mix several states within a set of n manifolds (n = 20–30) in antihydrogen
This is, not a valid assumption especially for a high power laser. Here, this fact which leads to the main modification that the deexcitation time is limited by the decay time of the lower manifold to which the n = 20–30 population is driven to, and by the number of states addressed as we showed in Ref. [1]. This point can be illustrated using the simple model of fully mixed l, m states
All levels become equipopulated, the initial population of N atoms distributed over the n2 levels gets spread over the n2 + n3 levels and decays to populate the ground state at a rate deexcitation =
