Abstract
By applying bipolar electric-field pulses of about 10 V cm-1, dE/dt approximately=109V cm-1s-1, the authors have demonstrated the conversion of laser-excited Na(nd) Rydberg states (n=30-38) to high-n1Stark states that lie at the top of the n manifold. These states correspond in zero field to orbits of the highest allowed angular momentum l. This transition phenomenon is believed to play an important role in the microwave electric-field ionisation of non-hydrogenic atoms.
