Abstract
The conditions of validity for the momentum-translation approximation of Reiss are found much more stringent than was thought before: multiphotonic transitions induced by one strong field cannot be described by this method. First-order transitions between bound states dressed by a strong low-frequency field can be calculated, but the method gives nothing but a trivial result; only for the ionization of a dressed atom is the approximation found useful.Keywords
