Laser excitation of localized wave packets of Rydberg states

摘要

Nonperturbative numerical modeling of the excitation of the hydrogen atom from the ground state into Rydberg states by means of CW or pulsed laser radiation with linear or circular polarization is presented. Temporal population dynamics of Rydberg states is calculated. The results should be considered as preliminary, since the transitions to continuum and the relaxation processes have not been taken into account.
