Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 3263–3266 (1993)Indications of high-intensity adiabatic stabilization in neonReceived 16 June 1993; published in the issue dated 15 November 1993 We study the stabilization behavior of the circular 5g state in neon in a two-pulse experiment. A first pulse prepares the state. Comparison of the single-photon ionization yield, due to a second laser pulse for both short (0.1 ps) intense and long (1 ps) less intense pulses shows an intensity-dependent suppression of ionization. The smaller yield due to the short pulses at intensities of several times 1013 W/cm2 is in accordance with recent predictions of stabilization. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
