The exact solution to the minimally coupled Dirac equation is called the Volkov solution. An operator {ital {cflx R}} is developed, which when applied to the free-electron state function gives us the Volkov solution. We apply the operator to the exact solution of the hydrogen atom to find that it is the approximate solution of the hydrogen atom in the presence of intense laser field. The restriction on the laser intensity is that the Kibble parameter {var epsilon}{sub {ital K}}, which is the ratio of the electron's quiver energy {ital E}{sub {ital q}} to its rest mass energy {ital E}{sub 0}, is small compared to 1.
