Comment on Detailed instantaneous ionization rate of H2+ in an intense laser field -: Reply

Abstract

In response to the preceding Comment, results of our research show that rate is not necessarily linearly time-dependent and it is possible to define and calculate instantaneous ionization rate. We show that a negative ionization rate and the quiver motion in strong laser field are not necessarily correlated and may occur independently. Furthermore, a negative ionization rate is not identical to recombination. Details of the instantaneous ionization rate and photoelectron kinetic energy release are calculated and analyzed for the evolution of the electron wave packet of H-2(+) in a 25-cycle ultrashort intense linearly polarized laser pulse of I=1.0 x 1014 W/cm(2) intensity and lambda=1064 nm wavelength with a sin(2)-shaped envelope.
