Remarks on ``Adiabatic stabilization: Observation of the surviving population''
Sydney Geltman, Mircea Fotino
Abstract
Questions are raised about certain experimental and theoretical claims that atoms may be stabilized into their bound states, and prevented from achieving full ionization, by the application of adiabatic, ultraintense, high-frequency laser pulses. It is pointed out that those authors have used the weak-field concepts of cross section and ionization rate in an ultra intense field regime where they have no physical significance.
