We theoretically investigate the electronic dynamics in the hydrogen molecular ion at fixed intermediate internuclear distances in two-dimensional space for the electron in a linearly polarized laser field. Our results of numerical simulations confirm the predictions of multiple bursts of ionization within a half cycle of the laser field oscillation as recently reported for one-dimensional models. Based on the analysis of the Floquet states for a two-state model of the molecular ion, we discuss the relation of the multiple ionization bursts to the so-called charge-resonance-enhanced ionization phenomenon and the momentum gates.
