Exact Nondipole Kramers-Henneberger Form of the Light-Atom Hamiltonian: An Application to Atomic Stabilization and Photoelectron Energy Spectra

Abstract

The exact nondipole minimal-coupling Hamiltonian for an atom interacting with an explicitly time- and space-dependent laser field is transformed into the rest frame of a classical free electron in the laser field, i.e., into the Kramers-Henneberger frame. The new form of the Hamiltonian is used to study nondipole effects in the high-intensity, high-frequency regime. Fully three dimensional nondipole {\it ab initio} wavepacket calculations show that the ionization probability may decrease for increasing field strength. We identify a unique signature for the onset of this dynamical stabilization effect in the photoelectron spectrum.
