Abstract
High-frequency Floquet theory (HFFT) is again applied to photoionization in a linearly polarized field of the hydrogen atom in its ground state. The new feature is the systematic use of a two-pole approximation to represent both the dressed potential (with two positive charges) and the coupling responsible for one-photon ionization (with two charges of opposite sign). Within such a scheme, both the initial bound and the final continuum states can be very accurately determined. The final continuum state is obtained by deriving, from Floquet theory, an equation involving a source term. The model accounts reasonably well, even at rather low frequencies, for the stabilization of the atom in an intense field and supports the claim that HFFT represents the photoionization rate with a golden rule expression involving dressed states.
