13. The two-color rates for (Formula presented) are within a few percents of the rates for the fundamental acting alone. The atom thus decays more rapidly when the harmonic is turned on with (Formula presented) than in its absence.
14. An illustration of the temporal evolution of a stabilized circular state in an intense monochromatic field has been given by M. Pont, A. Bugacov, and S. R. Atlas, in Super-Intense Laser-Atom Physics, edited by B. Piraux, A. L’Huillier, and K. Rza̧żewski (Plenum Press, New York, 1993).
15. The phase dependence is usually stronger for (Formula presented), since for this particular harmonic order the pathways to the continuum whose interference is modulated by (Formula presented) involve the net exchange of fewer photons.
