摘要
We consider multipole transitions between Rydberg states in amplitude-modulated standing-wave ponderomotive potentials. For experimentally realizable depths of the ponderomotive potential, we find Rabi frequencies of tens of kilohertz. The transitions are not subject to dipole selection rules and allow for changes in the angular momentum quantum number up to about 5. The effects of energy level shifts caused by the ponderomotive potential are discussed.
