Abstract
We use the Kramers-Henneberger approximation to investigate the phenomenon of stabilization of quantum systems with short-range potentials in a strong electromagnetic field. We identify the physical limits imposed on our investigation by the use of this approximation, and the ranges of parameter values of the system and external field that lead to stabilization. We analyze the dependence of the stabilization threshold on the frequency of the laser light. The conclusions obtained from our analytic investigation are confirmed by numerical calculations.
