Abstract
Decay widths of metastable hydrogen atoms subjected to the intense field of the currently available laser (λ=248 nm) and laser (λ=193 nm) are calculated by solving the full (3+1)-dimensional Schrödinger equation in the space-translated frame of reference. The critical intensities, above which the suppression of ionization decay sets in, are found to be ≃2.5× and 7× W/ for λ=248 and 193 nm, respectively.
