Abstract
The dynamic stabilization of atomic hydrogen against ionization in high-frequency single- and two-color, circularly polarized laser pulses is observed by numerically solving the three-dimensional, time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The single-color case is revisited and numerically determined ionization rates are compared with both, the exact and the approximate high-frequency Floquet rates. The positions of the peaks in the photoelectron spectra can be explained with the help of dressed initial states. In two-color laser fields of opposite circular polarization, the stabilized probability density may be shaped in various ways. For laser frequencies ω1 and ω2=nω1, n=2,3,…, and sufficiently large excursion amplitudes, (n+1) distinct probability density peaks are observed. This may be viewed as the generalization of the well-known “dichotomy” in linearly polarized laser fields, i.e, as “trichotomy,” “quatrochotomy,” “pentachotomy” etc. All those observed structures and their “hula-hoop”-like dynamics can be understood with the help of high-frequency Floquet theory and the two-color Kramers-Henneberger transformation. The shaping of the probability density in the stabilization regime can be realized without additional loss in the survival probability, as compared to the corresponding single-color results.
