Abstract
We study the stabilization behavior-of the circular 5g state in neon i n a two-pulse experiment. A first pulse prepares the state. Comparison of the single-photon ionization yield, due to a second laser pulse fo r both short (0.1 ps) intense and long (1 ps) less intense pulses, sho ws an intensity-dependent suppression of ionization. The smaller yield due to the short pulses, at intensities of several times 10(13) W/cm2 , is in accordance with recent predictions of stabilization.
