Ov. Tikhonova et al., Interference stabilization of Rydberg atoms: Quasiclassical analytical theory and exact three-dimensional numerical simulations, PHYS REV A, 60(2), 1999, pp. R749-R752
The problem of strong-field photoionization of a three-dimensional Rydberg
hydrogen atom is solved numerically. The results are compared with those of
the newest version of an analytical theory based on the quasiclassical app
roach. The probabilities of ionization calculated numerically and analytica
lly are found to agree perfectly. The results obtained confirm the existenc
e of strong-field interference stabilization interpreted in terms of Raman
Lambda-type transitions via the continuum. [S1050-2947(99)50508-9].
