Reply to 'Comment on 'Strong-field ionization of laser-irradiated light homonuclear diatomic molecules: A generalized strong-field approximation-linear combination of atomic orbitals model' '

摘要

We acknowledge the criticism of the preceding Comment related to imperfect composition of our model 3 sigma(g) molecular state [V. I. Usachenko and S.-I. Chu, Phys. Rev. A 71, 063410 (2005)]. However, we cannot agree with the authors suggesting this critique also as an irrefutable argument and evidence in support and justification of their opposite and incorrect (viz. inconsistent with relevant experiment) orientation dependence of N-2 ionization rate calculated within the velocity gauge version of molecular strong-field approximation. We demonstrate that appropriately composed 3 sigma(g) state (modified according to the Comment's critique) rather confirm the alternative calculation [A. Jaron-Becker, A. Becker, and F. H. M. Faisal, Phys. Rev. A 69, 023410 (2004)], which suggests correct orientation dependence of N-2 ionization, contrary to respective results of the Comment's authors applying the same approach and procedure of 3 sigma(g) composition.
