Reply to Comment on Approximation for a Coulomb- Volkov solution in strong fields

TL;DR

This paper defends a Coulomb-Volkov solution against criticism by identifying a false assumption and proposes a new Coulomb correction to improve the wavefunction in strong laser fields.

Contribution

It introduces a novel Coulomb correction to the Coulomb-Volkov wavefunction, addressing previous criticisms and enhancing the theoretical model for ionized electrons in strong fields.

Findings

Criticism based on a false assumption

Proposed a new Coulomb correction

Improves accuracy of Coulomb-Volkov solutions

Abstract

It is shown that the criticism of Voitkiv [Phys. Rev. A 74, 027403 (2006)] is based on one assumption, which is false for an ionized electron, initially bound by the Coulomb potential, in a strong circularly polarized laser field. A certain new Coulomb correction to the Volkov wavefunction is proposed.
