Abstracts

EN

Photoionization of Rydberg atoms is considered in the quasi-classical (WKB) approach. The total nonlinear strong-field ionization rate is found and investigated. The time of ionization, as a function of a growing field-strength amplitude, is shown to approach asymptotically the Kepler period t_{k}. Interference stabilization of Rydberg atoms is confirmed to exist in the case of short pulses (shorter than the Kepler period).
