Stabilization of hydrogen atom in intense laser fields

Abstract

The stabilization of real hydrogen atom rather than the model under the influence of high frequency superstrong laser pulse is investigated by numerical integration of time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The target wavefunctions are expanded in terms of a discrete L 2 basis. The evidence of stabilization as found by Su et al. for 1D model atom using the split operator technique has been confirmed for the hydrogen atom using L 2 technique.
