Article Description

In this paper, we present an efficient alternative method for the evaluation of the three-photon transition matrix element in the dipole approximation from the ground state to bound states in atomic hydrogen. This method is a variation of the Dalgamo-Lewis method for the treatment of the second-order Stark effect in the hydrogen atom. In this approach, the infinite double sum over the complete set of states including the continuum states present in the third-order perturbation theory result is treated exactly. The closed analytical expression obtained for the matrix element, as a function of incident photon energy, clearly displays all singularities present in the original third-order perturbation theory result.
