The experiments on high Rydberg states interacting with short electromagnetic pulses were hitherto mainly explained by using numerical integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in a restricted state basis. In this study we apply a different approach based on the Bersons-Kulsh analytical form factor of the short-pulse approximation. This analytical approach is shown to well reproduce the recent experimental results and those of numerical integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation both in the case of terahertz half-cycle pulses and optical many-cycle pulses. This fact enables a recommendation of the analytical Bersons-Kulsh form factor as an alternative and efficient method of quantum calculations of electromagnetically induced Rydberg state redistribution.
