Abstract
We study the population of Rydberg excited states in the strong field interaction of atomic hydrogen with 800, 1200 and 1600 nm laser pulses. The total excitation probability displays strong out-of-phase modulation with respect to the weak modulation in the total ionization probability as the laser intensity is increased. The results are explained in terms of channel closing, to demonstrate multiphoton ionization features in the strong tunnel ionization regime. We also explain the stability of high Rydberg states in strong laser fields in contrast to other previous ionization stabilization models.
