Abstract
Among the interesting phenomena of atoms in strong laser fields is the strong deformation of the electron wavefunction due to the laser field. This deformation results in a reduced binding energy and inhibition of photoionization [Gavrilla and co-workers]. Recently this stabilization phenomena was observed using visible light of 600 nm. The relevant parameter in this kind of experiments is the quiver excursion a0 of the electron due to the oscillating e.m. field: (1) α0 = √I/ω2 where I is the intensity and w the angular frequency of the light field.
