Stabilization of hydrogen atom in intense laser fields

The stabilization of real hydrogen atom rather than the model under the inf luence of high frequency superstrong laser pulse is investigated by numeric al integration of time-dependent Schrodinger equation. The target wavefunct ions are expanded in terms of a discrete L-2 basis. The evidence of stabili zation as found by Su et al. for 1D model atom using the split operator tec hnique has been confirmed for the hydrogen atom using L-2 technique.
