Ionization and stabilization of a three-dimensional system with a short-range potential in a strong laser field

The interaction of a three-dimensional atomic system in a short-range potential with intense laser radiation is investigated by the direct numerical integration of the nonstationary Schrodinger equation. The calculations helped to discover a stabilization regime, which is interpreted as a result of forming a Kramers-Henneberger atom "dressed" in a field. Dynamics of the energy spectrum of photoelectrons depending on the increase of the laser field intensity is investigated, and conditions of a photodetachment of an electron from a bound state of the Kramers-Henneberger potential are analyzed. These results reveal specific features of the stabilization process of the three-dimensional system with a short-range potential compared to the similar process in a system with a long-range (Coulomb) potential.
